people today were shocked with surprises at ALADJA community near warri, when they saw a complete large octopus in a suppose ice fish carton.
A great crowd gathered when the discovery was made, many people were scarred and even regarded this creature demonic.
I had some shouting
Oghéné mé( my God) in Urhobo.
"Wonder shall never end",
heee watin be this?
God save your children ooh!
but then trust woxup guys like us, who appreciates the beauty of this mollusca.
To cut the long story short, the octopus ended in that waste bin.
Ignorance like they say, is a dangerous disease.

what differentiates them?

Octopus has a round or ball shaped head while a squid has a triangular shaped head. octopus have no bone or any stiff structure but squids have what seems like a flexible backbone. but the mosst obvious difference is the shape of their heads. both belong to the cephalopod group but the head and some other physical attributes tells them apart.

so you just googled their differences/past and you are now acting as Mr know it?

it's common knowledge to know the difference between both. even a kid who watches cartoons will easily point the difference without any need for Google.
