Illex oxygonius is a species in the taxonomic classification of the squid, a class of animals belonging to the Mollusca strain. The squid only occurs in salt water and is able to change color. He moves forward by pumping water into his cloak and pushing it out again through the siphon. The squid is a carnivore and its food consists mainly of fish, crabs, lobsters and molluscs that they catch with the suction cups on their grips.
The squid comes from the genus Illex and belongs to the family Ommastrephidae. Illex oxygonius was described in 1969 by Roper, Lu & amp; Mangold.
