Cuttlefish
The Cuttlefish, one of nature's most amazing marine creatures, is the source of sepia ink, hence its Latin name Sepia Officinalis. The ink is discharged as a smoke-screen to confuse its enemies.
Cuttlefish move by forcing a jet of sea-water from a muscular funnel situated between the head and the mantle. This drives them backward - a form of jet-propulsion. The funnel is also used to eject th inky smoke-screen.
