fr like how can something that looks so thoughtless and the embodiment of a dopamine drip made out of squish have the intelligence of a five year old human being
Cuttlefish have to be one of the most interesting animals

Zebra Shark (Stegostoma tigrinum), family Stegostomatidae, Byron Bay, NSW, Australia
ENDANGERED.
This shark gets its name from the appearance of the juveniles, which are striped.
In parts of its range, it is sometimes called the Leopard Shark. There is, however, another shark referred to commonly as the Leopard Shark. Triakis semifasciata, a kind of houndshark, that lives along the Pacific Coast of North America from Oregon to Mexico.

Deep-sea siphonophore
Siphonophores are gelatinous animals composed of specialized parts growing together in a chain. Each part (zooid) is structurally similar to other solitary animals, but the zooids are all attached to each other rather than living independently.
This siphonophore, Erenna richardi, can be identified by the massive clusters of tentilla (the side branches of the tentacle) at the end of the tail (siphosome). In Monterey Bay, this species has been observed at average depths of about 1,100 meters (3,600 feet). These siphonophores are armed with a battery of powerful stinging tentacles and researchers have seen them ensnaring fish just above the seafloor. Historically, gelatinous animals have been challenging to study. Their delicate nature makes them difficult to collect, especially from the ocean’s depths. By using deep-diving robots—remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs—MBARI and our collaborators are revealing the dazzling diversity of delicate drifters that lies beneath the surface.
