Gotcha!
Because cuttlefish are such masters of disguise,
they are elusive study subjects in the wild, and some species may
yet be undiscovered. (There are thought to be roughly 100 species
worldwide, living in oceans almost everywhere except the icy poles
and the Americas.) Cuttlefish tend to live in complex environments
with ample hiding spots like coral reefs and mangrove swamps. But
the variety of colors and textures in these environments also tests
their quick-change abilities.
