I'm pretty much in love with cephaolpods. I want to take this wittle guy home and love him forevers!


Also, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's actually a Caribbean Reef Squid. Anybody know?

So adorable!!! *cuddles*

Cuttlefish are usually about as long as your hand, they're like mini-squids crossed with chameleons with uber color-chaing powers :D

OMG! Doesn't anyone else think he/she looks like Snuffleupagus???? Too Cute!!!

 |  Aug 24, 2007 at 03:16 PM

Yes, Renee in Texas. Yes.

I'm not in the habit of finding sea creatures cute, but this one sure is...

Alexis
 |  Aug 24, 2007 at 03:24 PM

Please don't cry, Cuttlie McCuttlesons!!! I'll cuddle you!!!

You're right, Renee, he does sort of remind me of Snuffleupagus!

No, that's definitely a cuttlefish.

They actually have a very wide range as far as size goes. Some are smaller than your hand, some are longer than your arm.

And while I think the picture is adorable, that's not his eyelid. Their pupils are just shaped that way.

Yayayay! A mollusc on CO! You've made my day, Meg.

 |  Aug 24, 2007 at 03:54 PM

hahaha this is awesome! My four year old son, who just melted alongside me watching the howly pup just went "Awww, I want it!"

I have to second Carrie here; cuttlefish have amazing color switching abilities. We're talking animated hypnotic patterns swirling over their skin. Maybe if someone give him a cuddle he'd do little heart-shapes all over...

He'd be like a cuddlier version of Cthulu.

Actually, several types of cephalopods can change their coloring, for camouflage purposes or for mating. Ah, widdle cuttlyfishie!

Cuttlefish are my absolute favorite invertebrates. They are so much fun to watch, hanging out with each other in a large tank, occasionally having cuttlefish arguments after which the loser goes off and sulks in a corner...

If it has that little ballet tutu all around the body, it's a cuttlefish; squid don't have tutus.

I'm so happy to see I cephalopod (sp?) on here. i thought I was the only one who thought they were cute.

OMG! Squids and 'cephies in general are my favorite animals, actually! It's awesome to see their cuteness appreciated by others! =D

I love little cuttles, they're so sweet and wierd, even if they are ferocious predators.

Their colour changing ability is truly amazing, check out this video, particularly about 2:20 in when it starts pulsing its colours. They really are like aliens on Earth and this little one clearly needs a cuddle.

Don't bite my with your beak though!

How do you cuddle with a cuttlefish?

I imagine holding hands is a little complicated.

Kar
 |  Aug 24, 2007 at 06:23 PM

I've always thought cuttlefish were the cutest cephlapods around... :'( Poor lonely baby...

Awww, I love cuttlefish. They always look a little sad... well, except when they turn red and look mad. They have good angry eyes. :)

He might actually truly want a cuddle. I remember seeing a documentary where a cuttlefish in a tank was playing with and sucking on the zookeeper's hand. They love attention, it was super cute to watch. Ever since then I've had a soft spot for the squishy little guys.

Wow I've never wanted to cuddle a booger more in my life. That is what that thing is right? jk
