Cuttlefish can learn with the brains they keep in their arms
With 500 million neurons dispersed throughout the body, some say they have 9 brains
Scientists outfitted cuttlefish with 3D goggles to understand how their brains perceive depth
Humans aren't the only animals that can see in three dimensions, but not all animals perform this feat in the same way
Cephalopalooza!
With over 1,000 octopous, the scientific exploration ship Nautilus has discovered the largest deep-sea octopus nursery.
Cephalopods are forcing us to rethink what it means to be colorblind
Octopuses, squids and cuttlefish should technically be colorblind. So how do they camouflage so well?
Male cuttlefish filmed fighting over a female for the first time
Researchers have previously witnessed this behavior in the lab, but this is the first time it's been caught in the wild.
You're Not Hallucinating. That's Just Squid Skin.
Octopuses and cuttlefish are masters of underwater camouflage, blending in seamlessly against a rock or coral. But squid have to hide in the open ocean, mimicking the subtle interplay of light, water, and waves. How do they do it?
In changing oceans, cephalopods are booming
Cephalopods are known for rapid growth, short lifespans, and extra-sensitive physiologies, which may allow them to adapt more quickly than many other marine species.
Octopuses Do Something Really Strange to Their Genes
