Field Notes

Description:

Looking into the intelligent eye of this adult cuttlefish is mind changing!..like taking a peek into the universe..

Notes:

Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. 'Cuttle' is a reference to their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone. Despite their name, cuttlefish are true molluscs.
