CUTTLEFISH – The Brainy Bunch © 2006

Cuttlefish. These shape-shifting creatures can hypnotize their prey, impersonate the opposite sex and even kill with lightening fast speed. More accomplished masters of disguise than any chameleon, they have an incredible ability to morph their skin colour -- even their shape -- to blend into almost any background. And they have the largest brain-to-body ratio of all the invertebrates. But are they capable of learning and remembering complex tasks? With beautiful underwater footage and in-depth expert interviews, CUTTLEFISH gets up close and personal with these bizarre and amazing animals.
