. In this photo, we witness a remarkable moment of nature's defense strategy. A majestic adult Bigfin Reef Squid, known for its cunning tactics, is caught ejecting ink at night in the enchanting Lembeh Straits of Sulawesi, Indonesia. With its vibrant colors and graceful movements, this squid showcases its incredible defensive behavior.
