Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida.

Despite their name, cuttlefish are not fish but mollusks.

Cuttlefish are among the most intelligent invertebrates.

Cuttlefish have an internal shell (the cuttle bone), large W-shaped pupils, and eight arms and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, with which they secure their prey. They generally range in size from 15 cm to 25 cm.

Cuttlefish eat small mollusks, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopuses, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals and other cuttlefish. Their life expectancy is about one to two years.
