Description
An infographic describing cuttlefish mimicry and camouflage behaviour. The infographic presents the mechanism responsible for their colour-changing ability, the versatility of the behaviours and their application for all areas of cuttlefish lifestyle as well as how this behaviour has been selected for throughout evolution.
