Cuttlefish exhibit a variety of camouflage techniques while hunting, tailoring their displays to fit different environments. Their remarkable skin comprises chromatophores for color change, iridophores for dynamic reflective color, and leucophores that scatter light. This complex interplay between different skin layers highlights how cuttlefish use advanced adaptive behaviors for survival, making them masters of disguise in the ocean. A recent study elaborates on these mechanisms, enhancing understanding of cephalopod adaptive strategies in predation.
Cuttlefish employ various camouflage displays for hunting, choosing specific strategies based on their environment, revealing advanced adaptive behavior in response to surroundings.
The skin of cuttlefish features chromatophores that enable color change, while iridophores provide structural color, allowing these creatures to blend into their environments.
