Wonderful image. Is he for real??
Martin How replied
Yes, totally real. If you dive off Whyalla in South Australia in June/July each year you’ll see thousands of these giant cuttlefish coming in to mate and lay their eggs. An amazing sight.

Thanks very much. They are very strange animals, the cuttlefish. Really alien.
