Cuttlefish lighting up to hypnotize the preys


















Гигантская австралийская каракатица (Sepia apama) — вид головоногих моллюсков из рода настоящих каракатиц семейства каракатиц (Sepiidae). Достигая 50 см в длине мантии и свыше 10,5 кг в живом весе, считается крупнейшей каракатицей в мире.Их называют «рок-звездами океана», потому что при жизненном цикле всего лишь в 12-18 месяцев, они живут быстро и умирают молодыми.
Гигантская каракатица – эндемический вид, обитающий исключительно в прибрежных водах на юге, юго-западе и юго-востоке Австралии (от побережья штата Квинсленд до залива Акул в Западной Австралии). Встречается на глубине не более 100 метров, но чаще всего — на мелководье.
Непонятно по какой причине, но природа наделила этих живых существ 3-мя сердцами. Одно отвечает за снабжение кровью нервной системы, а остальные два — за работу жабр.Эти каракатицы прославились способностью моментально менять свой окрас, который чаще всего зависит от настроения животного или окружающей среды. Также он сильно меняется у самцов в брачный период. В брачный период или во время нападения на добычу их окраска приобретают металлический блеск и покрывается яркими светящимися точками.
Эти гиганты ведут дневной образ жизни. Большую часть времени проводят, укрывшись среди зарослей водорослей, каменистых рифов или зарывшись на морском дне. Большую часть энергии они тратят не на активность, а на рост. Очень любопытны и любят поиграть, чем часто пользуются дайверы.
The giant Australian cuttlefish (Sepia apama) is a species of cephalopod from the genus of true cuttlefish of the cuttlefish family (Sepiidae). Reaching 50 cm in mantle length and over 10.5 kg in live weight, they are considered the largest cuttlefish in the world. They are called the “rock stars of the ocean” because, with a life cycle of only 12-18 months, they live fast and die young .
The giant cuttlefish is an endemic species found exclusively in coastal waters in the south, south-west and south-east of Australia (from the coast of Queensland to Shark Bay in Western Australia). It is found at a depth of no more than 100 meters, but most often in shallow water.
It is unclear for what reason, but nature endowed these living creatures with 3 hearts. One is responsible for supplying blood to the nervous system, and the other two are responsible for the functioning of the gills. These cuttlefish are famous for their ability to instantly change their color, which most often depends on the mood of the animal or the environment. It also changes greatly in males during the mating season. During the mating season or during an attack on prey, their color acquires a metallic sheen and is covered with bright luminous dots.
These giants are diurnal. They spend most of their time hidden among kelp beds, rocky reefs, or buried on the seabed. They spend most of their energy not on activity, but on growth. They are very curious and love to play, which divers often take advantage of.

Fried Cuttlefish with Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds lend a nutty and savory flavor to this crispy fried cuttlefish dish. It's a tasty seafood appetizer or main course that's simple to make and ideal for sharing with friends and family.
Cuttlefish girl?
YES! I've loved cuttlefish since I did a research project on them in like 3rd grade and well, now they're a cute girly :3

It's been a while since I've done any character design sheets or anything, but this was a good way to get back into the groove of character art after working on my less figurative AP art. It's nice to work on something for my own enjoyment lol.





The cuttlefish has a remarkable talent. Its skin contains millions of pigment cells and it uses hypnotic color patterns to mesmerize its prey before it strikes. (Blue Planet II)
In which I achieve a lifelong dream, of sitting on the seafloor with a bunch of giant Australian cuttlefish




This morning I checked a major bucket list item off the list: hanging out w/Giant Australian Cuttlefish. They're super focused on mating, and are shockingly chill about people hanging around. I'd heard this was true, but whew, it was wild to experience firsthand.
It's a rare thing for an animal to reliably be found at a certain place & certain time. So often "lifer" animals depend on luck to seen. With these cuttlefish, so far it's been like clockwork. Late May-August, go to Whyalla in winter, and there they are, resplendent and numerous.
Good news:they're reliable + stunning. Bad news: Whyalla is a friggen hike from Philly & the water is a bit chilly (58 degrees F today). If you want to swim with them, you better get a thick wetsuit on and maybe be a bit cold (I was honestly too excited to be cold).
Seeing mating behavior up close was so completely amazing. The males perform dominance displays where they roll black bars across their body directly at another male. It's mind-blowing to see in person. They generally do it with the half of their body facing the other male.

So on Nicholas Kole's livestream he was drawing a pumpkin whale because he's amazing and some folks were like 'hey let's also draw aquatic animals that are vegetables' so I drew a cuttlefish/artichoke. Cuttlechoke. Now it's bed time.
