Cuttle Love

[summer_jackel]

You all know how much I love cephalopods by now, I'm certain. One of the highlights of Disney World was the cuttlefish tank. They were in breeding mode and so were being very active and adorable (ok, so cuttles are always adorable). The water was cloudy because someone had inked, my camera doesn't much like aquariums and of course I didn't flash them, but still, I got some good shots. The best aquarium shots I've ever gotten, actually.

I showed one of the cuttles her picture on my camera screen, and she very distinctly turned towards it, looked and flashed color. They are so amazing, smart, and of course oh so cute. Here's my best one.





Color changes are swift and impressive.






Cuttlefish intimacy seems like a gentle and sensitive enterprise.

I can't say I think cuttlefish are cute-n-cuddly, but they are very interesting critters, and you've got some excellent photos here! Top one's definitely the finest of the lot, sell-to-postcard-publishers quality, but my favorite is actually the third one down. I've got a definitel feeling there that the cuttlefish is looking right back at you, just as curiously...

Thank you! Yes, that cuttle was very curious and interactive. She was the one who got all interested in looking at her picture on the camera when I showed her. Sooooo neat...

LOVE them! Incredibly intelligent :) saw them many times while diving, it is incredible how they try to communicate with you via colors. I wish I would understand their "language"!
