Embark on a journey beneath the waves

Where the ocean’s wonders unfold

And meet the colossal cephalopod—the giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama).

Distinguished as the largest cuttlefish species globally

These marine marvels captivate with their impressive size, intriguing behaviors, and unique characteristics.

The giant cuttlefish commands attention with a mantle length reaching up to 50 cm

And an astounding total length of 100 cm, including its outstretched tentacles.

Picture a creature that can weigh more than 10.5 kg

Thus, making it a true leviathan of the seas.

These giants find solace in the rocky coral reefs, seagrass beds, and sandy or muddy seafloors

Found along the southeastern coast of Australia, extending from Moreton Bay, Queensland, to the far reaches of Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia.

There is still so much more to discover about these adaptable creatures!
