    Nice.

    That being said, cuttlefish do get eaten in Japan, since they’re cephalopods like octupi and squid.

    They just don’t eat flamboyant cuttlefish because

    1: their muscle tissue is extremely poisonous

    2: an adult is the size of your thumbnail

    3: they’re adorable. They have fins/tentacles adapted to work as little legs to walk on the bottom of the ocean
