It hides by camouflage, sitting still while a predator passes. If found, it jets away using its siphon and often releases ink.1
Bwe kiruma
- Okunyiga n'okunyweza ekitundu (pressure immobilisation): zinga bandeeji egolomoka ennywevu ku kifo ekirumiddwa, oluvannyuma ogende waggulu ku kitundu kyonna, kinyweze n'omuti (splint), era omuntu muleke ateetambulira ddala okutuusa obuyambi lwe butuuka.
- Blue-ringed octopus oba cone snail esobola okuyimiriza omuntu okussa ng'akyategeera: kuba essimu okufuna obuyambi era beera mwetegefu okumufuuwamu omukka (rescue breaths) okutuusa ambulensi lw'etuuka n'ekwata omulimu.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
Cuttlefish can change colour and skin texture within seconds, and this camouflage ability is present before they hatch, as young can change their pattern from inside the egg.1
Young cuttlefish learn prey preferences before hatching. Embryos that see crabs later hunt crabs more often than shrimp.1
The colour sepia, a deep brown, is named after this cuttlefish and is extracted from its ink sac.1
Cuttlebones are sold as a source of calcium for pet parrots, and they help keep the bird's beak trimmed.1
Cuttlefish ink is used as a food ingredient that stains dishes deep black.1
Large numbers of cuttlefish die after spawning, and they usually live only up to 2 years.1
