I forgot to set up a Friday Cephalopod post before I left, and I don't have my scanner with me! Don't panic. Deep breaths. We can cope with this, by being as flexible as a cephalopod. Here's what I've done. I've reposted an article on Gonatus onyx, which has lovely photos of a squid and its babies…
