These fascinating creatures can count, exert self-control, and have numerous wily tactics to evade predators, including creating their own body double from a cloud of ink.

    Cuttlefish are marine animals closely related to squid, octopus, and nautilus. They are in the taxonomic class Cephalopoda, but differ from their other cephalopod cousins slightly. Because of this, scientists place them in their own order, Sepiida. These creatures resemble fat squids with short arms and tentacles, and they vary greatly in size.
    Cuttlefish are carnivores, preying mostly on shrimp and crabs but they also eat a lot of different fish species. These mollusks are highly intelligent and have one of the largest brain-to-body size ratios of all invertebrates. This means that they can learn and remember.
