What is a Cuttlefish?
Cuttlefish are fascinating marine animals known for their intelligence and ability to change color. They have eight arms and two longer tentacles used to catch prey like crabs and fish. Inside their bodies, they have a unique structure called a cuttlebone, which helps them control their buoyancy. Cuttlefish have large, W-shaped pupils and can see well in the dark. They live in shallow waters and have a lifespan of about 1 to 2 years. When threatened, they can release a cloud of ink to escape predators. Their skin contains special cells that allow them to change color and texture, making them excellent at camouflage.
