The documentary is a bit sensational/over the top at times, but I'm
not bothered as I just care about the footage. They used to be
prominent at a beach I had access to as a kid and they've been a
favorite member of our fauna to me ever since.
I don't think I have to spell out in too much detail why this might
be relevant or fun and refer to: it thinks itself into different
form, skin structure, color etc. Why are our bodies, nervous
systems, and skin so dull in comparison?
We're all worm and slug descendants on some level right? Why did we
pass up such useful and amazing features? Stupid nature/evolution...
I want that feature.
No, really: I want that! Can anybody hook me up? PGC
I find cuttlefish fascinating. They are social, relatively
intelligent, can communicate, able to grasp and manipulate things.
It seems like they were all set to become the dominant large life
form (instead of humans).
Give them time. According to the IPCC (and the Doomsday argument)
humans are already on the skids, and doing nothing to change course.
We will return into the sea, like the dolphins. We should never have
left it! (perhaps).
Yes, the cuttlefishes are cute and amazing. I love all animals, except
those having bones. They easily stand up and become arrogant. They
feel superior.
