- Description:In an unexpected twist of nature, a video captured by @rory_scuba on January 2, 2024, at The Steps, Botany Bay, Sydney, Australia, revealed a rare sight of two Mourning Cuttlefish engaging in a mating display. The footage showcases the creatures changing colors as part of their intricate courtship ritual before facing each other and proceeding to mate. What makes this observation particularly noteworthy is that Mourning Cuttlefish typically engage in such behavior during the winter months, yet this extraordinary event occurred in the midst of the Australian summer.
