Niba iruma
- Gupfuka ukanda no kudanyeganyeza (pressure immobilisation): zingira bande ikweduka kandi ifashe neza hejuru y'aho yarumye, hanyuma uzamuke ku rugingo rwose, urushyireho agati ko kurukomeza (attelle), kandi umuntu agume atanyeganyega na gato kugeza ubutabazi buhageze.
- Octopus ifite impeta z'ubururu cyangwa cone snail bishobora gutuma umuntu ahagarika guhumeka nyamara akiri maso: hamagara ubutabazi kandi witegure kumuhumekera mu kanwa kugeza igihe abo mu mbangukiragutabara bagusimbuye.

Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe ikurumye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
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
