Mechanical design of the highly porous cuttlebone: A bioceramic hard buoyancy tank for cuttlefish. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2020; 202009531 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2009531117 ...

The sophisticated cephalopods have highly evolved vision and can use jet propulsion to escape predators, but there are a few key differences between squid and cuttlefish.

In the ocean, the cuttlefish uses cuttlebone as a hard buoyancy tank to control its movement up and down the water column, to depths as low as 600 meters. The animal adjusts the ratio of gas to ...

Grasse hypothesizes that the behavior could have something to do with the size of the flamboyant cuttlefish’s cuttlebone, a calcium carbonate structure in the upper portion of the mantle cavity.

When Ruby Gillman dives into the ocean for the first time, she’s (and everyone around her) is shocked by her immediate transformation into a hulking tentacled monster. Growing up is tough no ...

Did you know that cuttlefish can change color, texture, and shape? Did you know they contain a bone called the cuttlebone? There is a reason why they are called the chameleons of the sea. The video ...

The cuttlebone is a hard oblong structure that spans the length of the body cavity of the cuttlefish, and made of a calcium carbonate structure microscopically infused with tiny air cells. This ...

Lithuanian researchers: Contemporary medicine might find cuttlefish bone useful The group of researchers of Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) has developed several innovative applications of ...

Common cuttlefish retain sharp memories about recent meals, even in their final weeks of life, accordin to a new study published this week in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

This is an excellent time, too, to view the two cuttlefish on display during the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s free admission days through Dec. 14.
