Mating season for the Australian giant cuttlefish is not a simple affair. This annual winter event, called "Cuttlefest," involves heartbreak, love triangles, and incredible physical transformations as the males try to impress the females. Travel journalist Stephanie Vermillion witnessed these cephalopod dramatics up close while diving, but glass-bottomed boats are also available for visitors who want to stay warm and dry while catching the invertebrate lovefest.

This Australian giant cuttlefish keeps watch over the bay, waiting for a mating female to enter his sight. They will pass away soon after the winter mating season so have to spend it constantly looking for mating partners!

Cuttlefish Battle!! During the cuttlefish mating aggregation anything goes. A giant male cuttlefish attacks a mating pair of cuttlefish to steal the female. The female is the cuttlefish on the left. At the end of the video she simply goes with the winner - the bigger stronger male. Her new partner then shields her from other rivals.

AMAZING! Scroll around & experience what it's like to have a Giant Australian Cuttlefish swim over your head! 😍 Wintertime along the Great Southern Reef means Giant Australian Cuttlefish at the head of the Spencer Gulf are gathering in large numbers to mate and lay eggs. Larger males outnumber the females by up to 11:1 at times throughout the breeding season, which lasts around 3 months. It's moments like these that remind us why we are fighting so hard to protect the Great Australian Bight for
