Product Description

This 20" animal puppet has a movable mouth that is accessed from the back of the head. Recommended ages 3+ for ease of use. Cuttlefish have a unique internal shell, the cuttlebone. Despite their name, cuttlefish are not fish but mollusks. Cuttlefish are sometimes referred to as the "chameleons of the sea" because of their remarkable ability to rapidly alter their skin color at will. Cuttlefish have large, W-shaped pupils, eight arms, and two tentacles furnished with suckers, with which they secure their prey. Cuttlefish eat small mollusks, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopodes, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals, seabirds, and other cuttlefish. The average life expectancy of a cuttlefish is about one to two years.
