Source sentences:
text: Cuttlefish swim by flapping the skirt-like fin that runs around their body and controlling their buoyancy; in times when they need to move more quickly, they suck water in through their gills and squirt the water out of their siphon, a straw-like organ beneath the tentacles, to move by jet propulsion.
text: The elongated tentacles and mantle cavity serve as defense mechanisms; when approached by a predator, the cuttlefish can suck water into its mantle cavity and spread its arms in order to appear larger than normal.
text: To jet away from a predator, the cuttlefish sucks water into the cavity and then uses its strong mantle muscles to expel the liquid with great force, driving the cuttlefish in the opposite direction.
text: However when in danger, the cuttlefish sucks water into their body cavity and expels it through a funnel like extension on the underside of the body, causing a backward propulsion enabling the cuttlefish to escape from predators.
