A cuttlefish near a rocky hideaway
This underwater page centers on a cuttlefish moving beside a group of coastal rocks. A broad fin runs along the sides of its mantle, while its arms gather near the head. The rocks suggest the sheltered marine places where these adaptable animals can rest, hunt, or remain concealed.
A master of rapid disguise
Cuttlefish can alter their skin color and pattern using specialized pigment cells controlled by their nervous system. They may change their appearance for camouflage, communication, or courtship. Their rippling side fin provides gentle, precise movement, while a jet of water can help them escape quickly.
