Common cuttlefish

Common cuttlefish are and, like many , occasionally indulge in a bit of cannibalism. They can change the colour and texture of their skin, themselves as clumps of floating seaweed as they stalk their prey. They hunt from the moment they hatch and even the smallest hatchling will succeed in catching its prey four times out of five. Common cuttlefish are found in the eastern Atlantic and , between West and the Baltic. They are restricted by water temperature so in years when the seas warm up, their range increases.
