Tiny Underwater Hippos

These little fellows from Aquarium of the Pacific are Flamboyant Cuttlefish and they’re the masters of camouflage. They can not only change the color of their skin, but even the texture as well (from smooth to three-dimensional). These water chameleons are often compared to hippos because of their body shape, but unlike the real hippos, their brains are shaped like a donut. Their home is the tropical Indo-Pacific around northern Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Going to see these at Monterey Bay Aquarium next week! Have been waiting years to see them. I can't wait.
nice article! This article article is very helpful because it discusses things that are rarely discussed about cuttlefish. Did you know that cuttlefish has the potential to accelerate regeneration of bone injuries? check here: http://news.unair.ac.id/2019/07/19/ikan-sotong- potential- quick-regeneration- at-cedera-tulang/ thanks for sharing!
It's so beautiful and adorable! Hopefully it can continue being adorable in peace.
