The Cuttlefish is an amazing animal, not as famous as the antics of the Octopus or Squid but this colour changing spaceship like creature is a wonder to see. I once saw three of them lined up like strangle little aliens just floating in front of me watching me watching them. I am not sure if someone had been collecting Cuttlefish bones on the beach or some freak of nature washed them here. Hopefully this is not the result of the Cuttlefish fishermen.As a child we had a budgerigar as a pet, cuttlefish bone was a favourite dish for it..personally I thinkI would have preferred the Cuttlefish as the pet.
If you can spare the 1 minute take a look at the European Cuttlefish video on the North Carolina State University biomovies website, you will see what I mean about colour changing spaceship.

I've seen them before but didn't know that these come from cuttlefish. Interesting.

I have never seen so much cuttlefish in one spot! I also fed this to my birds when I was young - thanks for the information along side the image ;)
