Jet propulsion - Mourning cuttle - Sepia plangon

Image of Sepia plangon Gray 1849

Description:

Cuttlefish swim and hover using their fluttering side fins, but when they need to make a quick escape they use a water jet below their bodies - you can see these two fighter planes in the photo as they make a quick escape!
