The Red Snapper is member of the Lutjanidea or Snapper Family, which are known in English as Snappers, and in Mexico as Pargo and Huachinango. A highly-prized game fish, the Red Snapper is distinguished by an overall bright red or sometimes a dark pink color, predominant on the head, back, and all fins, which gradually turns into white with a silvery sheen on the lower part of the body. It has a relatively "smooth" and streamlined appearance, as compared to most other Snappers.
Cuttlefish have an internal shell, called the cuttlebone. They have large W shaped eyes, eight arms and two tentacles furnished with suckers, with which they secure their prey. They eat small mollusks including other cuttlefish, crabs, shrimp, and fish. They have a rather short lifespan, living only one to two years. They are totally absent from the Americas but present along the coasts of East and South Asia, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and off the coasts of Africa and Australia
