The Amazing Cuttlefish

There are creatures on the ocean floor and people think they are aliens, these creatures eat shrimp and crab and they also can shape-shift, they have green blood as well. These creatures are cuttlefish.

Appearance

Cuttlefish are cephalopods that have the ability to change color and shape, which means they can disguise themselves to get away from predators. Cuttlefish don’t have a tail fin or anything like that, they have one fin that goes all the way across their bodies. Cuttlefish also have eyes at the back of their heads, so they can see if predators are coming.

Protection

Cuttlefish have jet propulsion, they can shoot water from their bodies to escape predators, they are also known to spray ink if alarmed to cause confusion. Cuttlefish flesh is poisonous, so if they get eaten the predator who ate it won’t survive either.

Ability

Cuttlefish can change color and shape in seconds by using special skin cells and chromatophores (cells containing color), which reflect light in all sorts of colors. They also have three hearts, one for each gill and one for the rest of the body. Cuttlefish bones are full of gas, they have small chambers of gas that keep them floating.

Conclusion

I believe Cuttlefish are amazing and unique and that people should find out more about weird and wonderful animals like the Cuttlefish.
