[[Image:Cuttlefish.jpg|thumb|A cuttlefish]]
The '''cuttlefish''' is a [[marine]] [[animal]] that has eight arms, two [[tentacle]]s, and a soft body. It is a cephalopod: a fast-swimming, intelligent [[mollusk]] that can change its skin color and release ink into the water to confuse [[predator]]s. The cuttlefish swims by using its fins and by shooting water from its body (a type of [[jet propulsion]]). The cuttlefish is [[nocturnal]]; it hunts during the night, and it hides and rests during the day. It has a life span of about 18 months.
