Cuttlefish projects a human face

At about 0:49 this Cuttlefish projects what looks like a human face on its active camouflage. Then after a few seconds, the "face" morphs into what looks like a chimp face.

I'm absolutely fascinated by cuttlefish. The most impressive aspect of their active camouflage is that they use it to "dazzle" their prey to make them easier to catch. For some reason I can't find footage of the dazzling, though.
