Giant Cuttlefish Attack SCUBA diver

Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) attack on female dive buddy. Cuttlefish breed and lay their eggs around this time of year – and become very aggressive and “frisky”. They are very intellegent and are attracted to “shiny” things such as this torch, and especially anything that is yellow in colour. I motioned to her to switch the torch off, unfortunately she didn’t understand and this footage is the result. This is the first time this diver had ever seen a cuttlefish. This cuttlefish followed us for another 20 minutes.

@dakuwanga I attrack them with certain noises. This was not at attack at all whatsoever, the tentacles are not raised in the attack-engaging mode, it was just curiosity on the part of the cuttlefish and hysteria on her part. Your buddy is too easily frightened, perhaps experience will make her better or she already increased her understanding of the underwater world.

Technically they’re brilliant., but what you’re doing is bringing them to human standards and, as smart as they are, they’re stupider than a pigeon when compared to a vertebrate. What that means is, they are not capable of such complex thought. As far as I know, no other animals are.
If you watch any other cuttlefish diving videos, you will see that they are curious. A little cautious, but unless spooked, they will not ink.
@nightmarexbat are …
@nightmarexbat are you calling the cuttlefish stupid, we dont no how animals think it could have been like wtf is this doing
@theothersituation …
@theothersituation … I hope you realize you were the one at fault. The cuttlefish got spooked for whatever reason and inked because of it, feeling threatened. So no, it was not the cuttlefish’s fault, it was yours.
