🐚Common cuttlefish
La Seiche commune (Sepia officinalis) est une espèce de mollusques céphalopodes marins. Elle est connue pour ses capacités de mimétisme, lui permettant de changer de couleur ou de texture pour se camoufler ou communiquer. Sentiente, elle est également célèbre pour ses facultés cognitives remarquables lui permettant un apprentissage complexe et la résolution de problèmes. Elle est capable de manipuler des objets à l'aide de ses bras. Pour échapper à ses prédateurs, elle est capable comme tous les décapodiformes, de projeter un nuage d'encre. Son espérance de vie dans la nature est d'environ 2 ans.
