Information about the Australian Giant Cuttlefish:

The Australian Giant Cuttlefish – also simply called the Giant Cuttlefish – is the largest cuttlefish in the world’s oceans. They’re native to the warm tropical waters off the coastline Western Australia. They tend to be found in and around the rocky reefs, seagrass beds and muddy seafloors up to a depth of 300 feet (100 meters.) They are carnivorous, opportunistic and voracious predators who feed predominantly on crustaceans and fish. This cephalopod has been declared as “Near Threatened.” Intense fishing in one location has resulted in massive local population declines.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Description

Fine art illustration of an Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama.)

Artist’s notes:

The Australian Giant Cuttlefish was completed on 3.7.2015. This cuttlefish will be part of a collage showing some of the world’s species of cuttlefish and squid. Some time ago I was very interested in the animals of the Great Barrier Reef. I wish I had known about this animal when I was putting a collage of the marine wildlife of that area. I might consider expanding on that collage or creating a new one. The drawing is based on a photo by Scott Portelli and was used with permission.
