Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)
Alor, Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
by John Scarlett, Austin, Texas, USA
Cuttlefish are actually mollusks, not “fish” as their
name implies. Although color blind,
their highly
developed eyes can see polarized light, greatly
enhancing contrast.
Concentrations of sensor
cells on the retina of their eyes allow them to
look forward
and backward simultaneously.
