The Broadclub Cuttlefish is actually able to create a hypnotic pattern that looks like it's own little lightshow to mesmerize prey, before lashing out with it's tentacles and slam-dunking crabs/small fish into it's maw not unlike a frog catching a fly. Some amazing youtube footage out there of this.

This piece activated my neurons so I figured I should use some of that brain-power for education.

geoWaffle responds:

the cephalopod zooneurology book "other minds" brought that up a fucking LOT bc of the ~complexities of interpreting colour~ i highly recommend it for casual reading (assuming u r as much of a zoology nerd as i am)

fun fact: uhhhhhhhhhhh oh right coleoids will sometimes just produce random flashing colours when theyre relaxed bc they get lost in thought hehehehe

Thicc Marina activates all my neurons i swear 0v0

With that eating question doe, i think they can eat fish or meat. Spyke eats the snails so i guess they actually can. source: my butt.

geoWaffle responds:

i hope prof. butt's research is peer reviewed otherwise im gonna fuckin throw hands

or uh. throw tentacles............................. like cuttlefish............ this is funnier if u have cuttlefish predatory behaviour fresh in ur mind like i do...............................
