Squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, argonauts and nautiluses are all types of the biggest invertebrates, the cephalopods. These creatures are shaped like cylinders. Their mouths, at the bottom end, have jaws that are shaped like beaks and are very sharp. Around the mouth are flexible muscular tentacles. Cephalopods have well-developed eyes. Scientifically speaking, the official classification for a cephalopod is Nautilida, Decapoda, Vampyromorpha or Octopoda, in the class of Cephalopoda of the phylum Mollusca.
