Cuttlefish are curious-- this one stayed around for a look at me, though it could have easily "jetted" away with its siphon. The safest position for it is just as seen here; since its siphon is pointed toward the threat (me), its direction of movement would be away from the camera. Cuttlefish can change colors faster than a television screen. Their "bones", the inner chitonous skeleton, often wash up on the beach, and are frequently sold in pet stores for parakeets and other birds to sharpen their beaks.
