Cephalopoda (class)

Cephalopoda is a class of marine animals that includes octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. They are known for their advanced intelligence, excellent vision, and ability to change color and texture rapidly for camouflage and communication. These animals have a soft, bulbous head connected to a mantle and are equipped with tentacles or arms with suckers for grasping objects and capturing prey. They are also notable for their efficient jet propulsion system, allowing quick movement through water. Cephalopods are highly adaptable predators, playing a vital role in marine ecosystems.
