Cuttlefish: The Brainy Bunch

Synopsis
Cuttlefish are the one of the strangest animals on our planet. Dr. Mark Norman reveals how these shape-shifting champions can hypnotize their prey, impersonate the other sex and even turn out to be deadly. Cuttlefish have the largest brain to body ratio of all invertebrates, but does this mean they are intelligent? Can they learn and remember complex new tricks? This programme brings to the surface the spectacular pyrotechnics of these clever creatures, discovering just what goes on between their eyes and what they can teach us about our own wits.
