A Giant Australian Cuttlefish cruises over the ocean floor at Stony Point, near Whyalla (South Australia). The animal has a wonderful gift for mimicking the colours of his environment.
Ah, yes, Tumby Bay I hear has some great snorkelling/diving of it’s own- but I’m yet to get in the water there. The cuttlefish swim/dive opps are fantastic. Get in quick before desalination plants and other developments further jeopardise these animals’ habitat
Thanks Stephen! This population is now under immediate threat though… can you please help stop the industrialisation of their breeding ground? Please sign the petition!

Wow, thanks FlowersEtc! I’m honoured, and so is the cuttle, I’m sure!

awe inspiring creatures, aren’t they Dan :)
They sure are. I just hope we can improve their chances for survival with our work on the Cuttlefish Country documentary and video series
