Cuttlefish at night (Sepia de noche). Wounded warrior (Guerrero herido)

The natural world is one of harsh reality.  Animals must fight for food, procreation rights and territory.  This cuttlefish shows proof of his battles.  As with all cephalopods, a cuttlefish can change not only its color and pattern but also the texture of its skin.  This one shows its continuous, wraparound fin, which gives it its incredible mobility in any direction, powered by its jet-propulsion-like swimming.  A marvel of dynamics.
