Clip Description
Cuttlefish are amazing alien-like creatures that, along with octopuses and squids, are part of the cephalopod family. These intelligent invertebrates, with tentacles for catching prey and arms for handling food, are the masters of disguise. Scouring the seabed, at depths of 200 metres, they are crab-hunting specialists.
In this fascinating clip, we see a cuttlefish using its hypnotic super power to trap its prey. All is going well for this fearsome predator as it has a large crab in its sights.
