Cuttlefish [Sepiida]
Description
Sepiida, known as cuttlefish, are marine animals characterized by their broad, flattened, oval bodies and large W-shaped pupils. Cuttlefish have a unique internal shell called the cuttlebone, which is used for buoyancy control. They are masters of camouflage, capable of changing their color and texture to match their surroundings in an instant. Cuttlefish have a relatively large brain compared to their body size, contributing to their high level of intelligence, including the ability to learn, remember, and solve problems.
