Question

3 ways cephalopods defend themselves?

Answer 1

3 ways that Cephalopods defend themselves are:

• To protect themselves from predators, cephalopods would rather hide than fight. To this end they have become masters of camouflage and escape.

• Benthic organisms have evolved to form a complex system of rapid changes in color in which it allows precise matching to the color and pattern of the background.

• Cephalopods regulate the texture of their skins by erecting papillae, flaps, and knobs that simulate the texture of the background, which also aids in helping the organism to survive against predators.
