The article explores the striking hunting tactics of the broadclub cuttlefish, particularly how they disguise themselves through four distinct displays to ambush their prey, like the purple mangrove crab. These displays, likened to a leaf, branching coral, and more, utilize advanced camouflage techniques with color and texture manipulation. A video study captures this remarkable predator-prey interaction, highlighting the cuttlefish's adaptation to thrive in tropical waters, thus showcasing the intricate balance of life in marine ecosystems.
In a recent study, scientists captured breathtaking video of the four distinct hunting displays of the broadclub cuttlefish, showcasing their remarkable ambush tactics.
