Here’s what makes cuttlefish so special ⬇️ Cuttlefish are some of the smartest animals in the ocean. They can change color, shape, and even copy patterns in seconds, thanks to special skin cells. They hunt with quick tentacles, eat fish and crabs, and move by jetting through the water. Even as babies, they can hide and hunt on their own. With blue blood, multiple hearts, and wild mimic skills, they’re one of the most amazing creatures in the sea. Credit: (Unknown – all rights belong to the owner
