Squid mouths have beaks that are made of chitin-like material, similar to a parrot's beak, while human jaws have teeth made of hard enamel. Both structures are used for breaking down food, but squid beaks are more rigid and used for grasping and tearing prey, whereas human teeth are more versatile for cutting, grinding, and chewing various types of food.
