Loligo is a genus of squid that belongs to the family Loliginidae. Squids are cephalopods, marine animals with soft bodies, a group that also includes octopuses and cuttlefish. Loligo squids are commonly found in oceans around the world and are known for their distinctive cylindrical bodies, large eyes, and eight arms with two longer tentacles used for hunting and capturing prey.

These squids are highly skilled hunters and use their tentacles to catch small fish, shrimp, and other marine creatures. They are also known for their ability to rapidly change the color and pattern of their skin, which helps them in communication, camouflage, and hunting.

Loligo squids are an important part of marine ecosystems, providing a food source for many larger predators. They are also commercially valuable and are caught for consumption in various parts of the world.
