Cuttlefish!!
Look how cool these little critters are!
The first person to watch this video and comment with how cuttlefish change color and what phylum cuttlefish are in will win one of my favorite organic Trader Joe's lolly-pops!
Cuttlefish change color when they grab food.It changes color, because it's a signal of them being happy for catching something to eat. Phylum cuttlefish are cuttlefish that have no shell.
The phylum is mollusca, but the cuttlefish are very closely related to snails because snails are also mollusks! And they do expand and contract their chromatophores to change colors! I'll take it! Lolly-pops for you while we watch the documentary tomorrow!
I get a message saying Missing Plug in. Can you help?
