Research conducted at Case Western Reserve University has uncovered that squids possess sensory hair cells throughout their bodies. These cells grant squids an exceptional ability to perceive local water movements, akin to how humans detect sound through their ears. The variation in hair bundle lengths allows for the discernment of different water motion frequencies.
