Summary

Description
English: In the photo, two cuttlefish entwine in an underwater ballet. Their bodies are a kaleidoscope of colors, with flashes of red, brown, and yellow swirling across their skin. One cuttlefish, likely the male, stretches its arms possessively around the other's head. The scene is both alien and strangely beautiful, a glimpse into the mysterious reproductive behavior of these intelligent creatures.
