There is no name for the little elephant squid, I only look at the photos and feel cute, like a small stupid elephant and take the name from it.

Squid can also be called cuttlefish, ink bucket.
For students who are not studying marine life, including me, it is rare to distinguish the types, because they are very similar.
The baby elephant squid, not very large, looks down like a baby elephant, especially the head. The body is smooth and the color changes with the environment and mood...
Small elephant squid, ink stored in the ink sac, in the face of predators, will spew ink from the ink sac, dye the sea black, and then escape.
Personally, I think that the cuttlefish is very delicious in addition to turning into cuttlefish balls, but in fact, it is difficult for me to understand the characteristics of this creature, and this small article only records that I have seen this small creature.
