What is the Cuttlefish level of classification?
Cuttlefish belong to the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Mollusca, Class Cephalopoda, Order Sepiida.
How smart are cuttlefish?
cuttle fish have a large learning compasity and would be considered smart in some ways but are not as smart in others, but if your looking for the smartest cephlapod the octopus is probably a better choice.
Are there any squid Pokemon?
Yes, their names are Inkay and its evolution, Malamar and they are both Dark/Psychic. They were first introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the 6th generation of the games.There is also a fellow member of the Cephlapod family featured in Pokémon that was created in the 2nd Gen, it was an Octopus Pokémon called Octillery.
What period of time did ammonites live in?
Devonian to cretaceous is the the geological age of ammonoids They first appeared during the Devonian Period (approximately 410 million years ago). They almost died out at the end of the Permian Period (251 million years ago), and again at the end of the Triassic Period (205 million years ago). They finally became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago), perhaps as a result of a lowering of ocean levels.
What is a octopie?
First of all it would be What is an octupus? or What are Octopi? Octopi- a fictional plural form of octopus, wrongly modelled after the pluralisation of words like hippopotamus. The plural of Octopus is Octopuses, but as a Latin word, 'Octopodes' would be accurate too. Octupus- a cephlapod with a soft oval body and eight arms with miniature suction cups on them
Why is the Australian sea lion extinct?
published on 23 April 2007 by the Department of Primary Industries and Water TasmaniaThe Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillusdoriferus) is the world's fourth-rarest seal species and, with its Conspecific, the Cape fur seal, it is the largest fur seal in the world. Hunted to the brink of extinction last century, population recovery has been slow, and seals are now wholly protected.The Australian fur seal is found from the coast of NSW, down around Tasmania to Victoria and South Australia. It is the most common seal in Tasmanian waters and breeds on small isolated rocks in Bass Strait between October and January. It also hauls-out at various rocky areas around the Tasmanian coastline, especially outside the breeding season when many seals disperse from the breeding colonies.It isn't always easy to tell the sexes apart, although the adult males are much bigger animals than adult females, with large heads and heavily-muscled necks and chests. Adult females average 125-170 cm in length and weigh between 50-120 kg. Cows are slender, silvery-grey on the back, with a creamy-yellow throat and chest, and a chocolate brown belly. Newborn pups are almost black on the back and grey/light-brown on the belly, moulting after three months.Adult male seals can grow to 200-225 cm and weigh 220 kg to 360 kg. Bulls are usually dark grey/brown, with a mane of coarse hair on neck and shoulders. Young seals of both sexes have grey-brown backs and yellowish belly fur. The dense coat is made of woolly underfur and long, coarse outer hairs to trap air which waterproofs and insulates the seal. Like all seals, they moult each year, replacing their old fur with new growth. A layer of fat assists with warmth and streamlining.The Australian fur seal eats mainly fish and cephalopods (squid, octopus and cuttlefish). Of the nineteen fish species known to be consumed, Jack Mackerel, Redbait and Leatherjackets form the main prey items. Of the 11 known cephlapod species eaten, the most frequently consumed is the Gould's Squid (Notordarus gouldi).Females give birth to a single pup which is fed on thick, rich milk. Pups are born in November-December, and usually weaned 10 to 11 months later, although some cows may suckle a pup for up to four years. Once a cow gives birth for the first time, she is practically in a continuous state of pregnancy/lactation for the rest of her life, with maybe only a few weeks off between weaning last season's pup and having another.Australian fur seals breed on nine rocky Bass Strait islands, but because seals only come ashore to rest and breed, it is impossible to know exactly how many there are. Based on counts at the breeding colonies each year, scientists estimate there are about 5,000 pups born in Tasmanian waters each year. However, not all pups will survive to become adults. Pup mortality for most fur seal species is between 3 to 30%, however, storm induced mortality can be as high as 70% for this species. This natural mortality continues throughout the life of the seal, but at a lower level than that of the pups. Seal mortality also occurs as a result of human activities such as deliberate persecution through shooting, fisheries bycatch and entanglement in plastic, non-biodegradable materials.
