Color Changing Cuttlefish

[ilovethejokerr]

@anujgamer343 It's electric, and not hormonal as people used to believe. There are some short documentaries on cuttlefish on youtube. Check them out, its pretty interesting.

[ilovethejokerr]

@thedonoftrek They are obviously sentient. The fact that they react to threats like predators is proof enough. And they fear pain. Moron.

[polarspirit]

The cuttlefish was like "Kiss me please!" hahaha xD

[alzorama]

I love cuttlefish. 'Nuff said.

[thedonoftrek]

I bet that they're on their way to sentience, although it may not happen for a long, long time. Thoughts?

How do animals change color?

[googlephi]

@anujgamer343

Look for "chromatophore" on Wikipedia.

Is it just me or do they have sad eyes =(

[AceEliot]

I don't think they're actually sad, it turns out their w-shaped pupils, which give them that sad or angry appearance at first glance, allows them to see polarizations of light. They can also use their skin to communicate with others with polarized light. wicked cool stuff for biologists.

[rainsgirl1889]

It's just you.

[prototype615h]

it has stoned eyes, probably the owner put drugs in the water

[AlexandKelsie]

that's a pretty stupid idea. why would someone want to get a cuttlefish stoned?

[spykexboi]

It's changing it's pattern so it can be ready to attack. You better be careful haha

[mycur]

dude, im sorry maybe im blind but it doesnt change color....

[SeraphLion]

the word blind is an under statement you gay tard

[sundriedt0mat0]

i think you need to attend anger management classes...

[Kemmetmau]

If you don't watch carefully it looks like the light's changing or something. Those brown marks that appear on the cuttlefish's face and tentacles are it changing color.

[amberjosie]

What a great creture!

[porage09]

they should change the name

[takeyourbrainchipp]

yea cuddlefish is such a gay name for such a cool animal.

[ltylcz]

It's not "cuddlefish", you idiot. It's "cuTTlefish."

[LorrieBrian946]

@ltylcz No, it's codo-feeeech. Ask Tyler!

When did Mote get cuttlefish!? They didn't have any last time I was there :/ Maybe they were down for maintenance or something?? What a bummer. I guess that just means I'll have to go again!
