About the Cuttlefish

A cuttlefish is a soft ocean animal in the same family as the octopus and squid, with eight arms and two longer tentacles for grabbing prey. It can change the color and pattern of its skin in an instant, flashing colors to hide or to signal. Inside its body is a light, chalky cuttlebone that helps it float. Use this in an ocean unit and trace the path around its body and arms.
