Tenhand's squid page

Squid are COOL!

This site is a relic

For current cephalapod news, go to Tonmo.com. They're biased to octopodes, but they actually update their site.

Here's a bunch of ancient pillaged squid gifs

For a decade I've had pictures here from squid pages on the internet. Since I've never taken the site down, the links from this page have high google value. So spammers were buying up the dead links. I've removed attribution tthat points to spammers.If you think you should be credited, mail the webmaster.

A series of pictures I took in the British Museum.
They're not very good, since I had to take them furtively and without a flash, but they should help you track down the actual British Museum items.
