Mediterranean Sea, South Coast of England, Senegal Coast, Japanese Coastal Waters, Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde.
At first glance I may look quite scary, but looks are misleading ! I am very shy, and quite scared myself of humans… I am a marine animal, and contrary to mammals, I am an invertebrate. I belong to the family of molluscs. My body is composed of 8 arms, a head and a funnel.
I have 250,000,000 neurones and yes, I am very intelligent ! I can even measure an opening to check if I can fit through ! When I fell threatened I can eject ink or change colour to hide.
