A friend of mine from college is now at Scripps doing her grad
work in marine biology. She said that in the lab where she works
part-time on work-study, they have a tank with three cuttlefish.
And apparently, the cuttlefish *love* to play with humans. She
said there's even one that will play fetch with her--and more
than once, they've played hide-and-seek by changing color to
blend with something in the tank. They can be unbelievably tricky
with the chameleon bit.
