The cuttlefish can imitate a hermit crab

Information

Video published by National Geographic

In this video from National Geographic, we see cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) camouflaging themselves as hermit crabs to trap their prey more effectively.

Sepia pharaonis is a species of cuttlefish in the Sepiidae family.

This strange behavior was initially discovered in Japan, at the University of the Ryukyus.

Quite a clever animal.
