Figure 13.3 This small squid combines excellent eyesight, an aquatic form of jet propulsion, sensitive arms and tentadles, and a blending of cam- ouflage with communication to cruise the reef looking for trouble. Its ancient body architecture has seen its ancestors through millions of years of challenges-this unique suite of evolutionary adaptations makes it ideal for its environment. Redbrickstock.com/Alamy
