Baby Cuttlefish Are Awesome

And they're on exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Splash Zone! Seriously, if you are within 100 miles of Monterey, you should go see them now. If you're not, well . . . sorry! Take my word for it, they're really cute! You'll have to take my word for it, because yeah, I forgot my camera. Oops.

That link up there to the aquarium's site will take you to some lovely video footage, though.

MBA is particulary good at showcasing local animals, stuff that you could see (but most people never do) if you went diving right out in the bay. The cuttlefish are some of the few exotics they have on display--Sepia pharaonis, all the way from the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean.
