My New Favorite Animal

It's not exactly cuddly, but the cuttlefish is cute.

It has incredible camouflage abilities, as described in this article. Roger Hanlon studies cuttlefish at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where I will be going this summer for a couple of weeks to do research. Hopefully I can see them in person!

How funny - I just read about cuttlefish at another blog:

There's a video at that link of the cuttlefish reacting to images of itself (kinda like a beta fish does). Interesting stuff!
