Biology

Elodia [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It is called pen and it is located at the dorsal side

Explanation:

Squid belongs to the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea which is characterized by internal shell (unlike subclass Nautiloidea in which shell is located externally).

The shell of the squid (the pen) in very reduced and small, formed from chitin and located at the dorsal side. The pen provides attachment for muscles and it gives the squid stiffness.

Most likely, this internal shell evolved from the  external shell, because it is believed the ancestral of the organisms from the Coleoidea was probably nautiloid-like.

The Tasmanian tiger, the largest known carnivorous marsupial, was wiped out of the wild due to constant hunting:
Darya [45]

The statement is - True.

The Tasmanian tiger went extinct because of the extensive hunting by the new settlers. People were killing the Tasmanian tiger because they thought that it is the animal responsible for the killing of the livestock, but at the end it turned out that they made a huge mistake and that actually the feral dogs and the dingo were the ones responsible for that. The last Tasmanian tiger was a female and died in captivity under very bad conditions.

Even though people use the term Tasmanian tiger (because of the stripes) and Tasmanian wolf (because of the dog-like face), it is an animal that is not related with neither the cats nor the dogs, but instead it is a marsupial, the biggest marsupial carnivore in the recent history, and its real name is Thylacine.
