What color is the ink a cuttlefish sprays?
Cuttlefish produce a brownish-colored ink called sepia. Cuttlefish ink was in fact where sepia first came from. The Latin name of the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, reflects this fact.
How do you get past the kraken in Scribblenauts?
All you need to do is get a blob! It kills about everything!
What is the cuttlefish habitat?
Cephalopods are found in all the oceans of the world, from warm, tropical waters to freezing, polar waters. They are found in the wave-swept intertidal zone through to the cold, dark abyss. Cuttlefish however, are usually found in temperate and tropical waters. They prefer shallow coastal waters but are also found in open oceans. During Winter, the cuttlefish gather in numbers on the shallow near-shore reefs to mate and spawn. Some species of cuttlefish swim around in schools, like other fish whereas others are more solitary and guard their own territory. The giant cuttlefish is found only in the waters off southern Australia. They inhabit reef and seagrass areas from Point Cloates in Western Australia, along the southern coast and up to New South Wales.Cephalopods are found in all the oceans of the world, from warm, tropical waters to freezing, polar waters.

Does an octopus have legs or tentacles?
Surprisingly, an octopus has neither legs nor tentacles. It has arms, which have suction cups on the underside. Most people think they have tentacles, but common octopuses do not. In fact, tentacles are merely flexible extentions. Squids and cuttlefish have such things as tentacles.
What are the adaptations for cuttlefish?
The ability to camoflage and they do illusion to fish so they can eat them.
What feature makes cephalopods more advanced than other mollusks?
Since cephalodpods are animals such as octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, they usually either entwine their tentacles around their prey to trap it, or they use their suction cups to stick to prey and then consume it.
It's the internal bone of a cuttlefish and we found the bones all over the beaches in Australia when we were there recently. A man was collecting them to feed to his caged canaries he had at home.
Do young octopuses drink milk from their mum?
No. The only group of animals that suckled milk from the mother are mammals. Octopuses are not mammals, nor even vertebrates.
they actually do hunt alone, if they ever hunted together they'd get in a fight.
Yes :( They're harvested for there shells and are threatened by over fishing and habitat destruction. The nautilus takes 15 years to reach maturity and 70% of populations are male. When nautiluses do reproduce, the female only lays 15 eggs that have a very low chance at survival. If the nautilus goes extinct, we will lose the last member of the nautiloids, a group of animals that's hundreds of millions of years, and there will be nothing on earth quite like it. It would be like losing the platypus or the horseshoe crab.
What eats both octopus and cuttlefish?
octopuses will eat crabs, fish, sea urchins and many other things.
Why do octopuses eat shellfish?
I dont know why an octopussy would eat an dolphinny,
but most likely it ate it because it was REALLY hungry...
and viscous (:
by propulsion. the propel themselves through the water if you ride the Kraken you'd know.
How big can the cuttlefish grow?
The Cuttlefish weighs about 5kg. This is including their arms and tentacles.
