A strobing cuttlefish from the documentary “Nova: Kings of camouflage”.
I’ve been wanting to make gifs of that for years, and now I finally learned how to do it…although it’s tricky making it less than 1MB.

Hey to all you cuttlefish lovers (and anyone who wishes to help :3 )
My older sister has designed this cuttlefish for a Squishable design contest.To those who don’t know what Squishables are, they are giant, soft, cuddly toys.
My sister is an amazing artist, but sadly doesn’t have a deviantart or any other websites to share art so she doesn’t have a large group of people to support her design unlike the winning design(s) in this round of voting. I’m really sad because she is super awesome and sweet but is starting to lose hope of ever getting a squishable cuttlefish (which is her favorite animal).
As of now she is barely in second place.
If you can and wish to help, please please please goand give her design a 5.
You do have to have an account to vote though. You can either create one (which is super easy) or sign in using Facebook (if anyone on here actually has one).
Thank you so much to anyone who votes or at least acknowledges this!

Day 8: Octomaid
Two in one day since I have a bit of catching up to do. She is based on the Vampire Squid, who is a strange and horrifying little creature, mainly because it has decided that this is a good thing to do.
octo-hugs! only somewhat terrifying.

Reaper Cuttlefish. Hardly grim at all! Except the eyes. The eyes are scary.
When they feed, the Cuttlefish shoot out two tentacles, which are usually tucked away in pouches under their eyes. This is done in a rapid whip-like action to seize their prey, then holding their prey within their arms while they consume it. (- nicolas.terry)
