what is the defence mechanism an octopus uses to spray its ink?
This is quite a ways out of my field but if my marine biology course days
serve me right it goes like this:
Octopuses and squids often eject ink through the siphon as they jet away.
The abiity of most cephalopods to eject ink is common. The ink comes
from a sac within the body cavity and is released into the mantle where
it is jetted out of the siphon.
