Pfeffer’s flamboyant cuttlefish are named for their complex and dramatic #color changing abilities, which are used for communication as well as #camouflage. This cephalopod isn’t consumed by humans because their muscles contain a unique #toxin that can be lethal. They’re often found in shallow waters, using their back legs to “walk” along the seabed. When threatened, they stand their ground, change colors, and wave the bright red membranes on their arms to remind predators of their toxicity.
