Why is it called the vampire squid when it in fact does not practice exsanguination? Kent Wang 05:41, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- There is significant webbing between its arms. It has a posture where it folds its arms together, making it look like a cloaked creature of the night, a la early vampire movies. - UtherSRG 11:55, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Shouldn't we move this to Vampire squid? The main reason I'm asking instead of doing is that I don't wanna do the work... --Chinasaur 22:00, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Nope. The Cephalopod Project is following the naming standard where Species common names are treated as proper nouns, and so each first letter is capitalized. - UtherSRG 22:44, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
