I swear, half the photos I have of cuttlefish are of two or three or four animals getting it on.

Since Friday's cephalopod was a repeat (sorry, it's such a lovely picture that it caught my eye again), here's another to compensate.

Awwww!! They look so serene!
I wonder if the little curlicues at the end of the tentacles mean "Wow, that was fan-tas-tic..."
That's the cephalopod equivalent of holding up two fingers behind someone's head when they're having their picture taken.
Ain't sex grand? They look lovely. There's something very touching about that pic. Oh, anthropomorphism is such fun!
They're very cute. But were they relaxing like that or reacting to the presence of the cameraman in some manner?

Cool! Houston Museum of Natural Science has some of these in a display tank on the 2nd floor...cute little buggers. I love HMNS. They recently had a re-vamped Dinosaur exhibit that was fantastic, too. -JJR
