Atlantic bobtail / Sepiola atlantica

This is an amazing little squid, scientific name, Sepiola atlantica. The common names include bobtail squid (USA), and little cuttlefish (UK), although they have no cuttlebone. (dumpling squid, stubby squid, bumblebee squid). Filming these squids was an amazing experience, they have an almost cheeky inquisitiveness and seem pretty intelligent - watch to the end and you will see how they bury themselves with their very flexible and dextrous front tentacles (never seen this filmed anywhere else before).
