This is a fun documentary with stunning underwater video. Cuttlefish are very smart animals that are great at camouflage. There was a scene where a diver was seeing if a cuttlefish would attack a toy lobster when he moved it. Poor cuttlefish fell for it for a short while.

You'll be amazed!

"WOW! Nova really hit the mark this time with its cuttlefish video. I asked my students to watch it on PBS and they were beaming the next day, full of questions and awe! From the surreptitious smaller males who slip in and mate with the females while the larger ones are battling it out, to the small, walking (yes, walking) cuttlefish that will make you smile, but watch out, it's actually poisonous, these highly-advanced mollusks will make you think differently about invertebrates. KUDOS to NOVA for making such a great documentary on a not-so-well-known group of animals!"
Unbelievable!

"This was one of the most amazing NOVA shows I've ever seen. I have a degree in Biology, and I'm ashamed to say I don't recall ever even hearing about these animals. I, like many of its prey, was mesmorized by these fascinating creatures. The footage was breath-taking, and the science of how they do such amazing things is equally so. I couldn't stop talking about these fantastic creatures for days after seeing the show. I would give 10 stars if I could. I can't wait to own this myself!"

"This documentary made me wish I was younger and just entering college because I would go into marine biology just so I could study this amazing creature. Wow! You won't even believe what this animal can do. The cuttlefish truly shows how amazing nature really is."
