Title: Animal that blinds its prey Written by: duddy on Sep 20, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_20_09_14_11_55_28.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18904) The Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) of the Pacific blinds its prey with flashes of light from its arms! It is believed that this highly maneuverable squid uses the bright flashes to disorientate potential prey. These flashes may also serve to illuminate the prey to make for easier capture as well as a courtship and territorial display. Comments: Please update us with a real-life video!
