#Repost from @matt_testoni_photography with @ming.app . A Giant Cuttlefish swims around in the waters of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia. These huge and impressive cephalopods are some of the oceans smartest and most curious animals. Often when you get close in a calm and relaxed way they will approach you for a close up inspection. The colours a cuttlefish exhibits are due to tens of thousands of muscles in their skin that cause light to retract differently depending on the degree of muscle flex. This is part of the reason why these amazing animals are able to display such vibrant and variable colours at the blink of an eye. - - - #giantcuttlefish #curiousanimal #cuttlefish #cephalopod #cephalopods #marinebiologyshot #marinebiology #themarinebiologist #thewildlifebiologist #portphillipbay #parksvictoria #isotta_housings #breakfree_olympus #olympus_aunz #oceangram #uwphotography #wildlifephotos #wildlife_photography #wildlife_aroundworld #wildlifephotographer #seacreatures #scubadiving #visitvictoria #scubalife #diving_photography #bbcearth #blueplanet #animalgram https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JvHC3hhmB/?igshid=89orv4g3nfrb
