👉 Reflection fluid is a viscous, dark liquid secreted by the skin of certain aquatic animals, like the squid and cuttlefish, as a defense mechanism. When threatened, these animals can expel the fluid from their skin through specialized sacs called siphons, creating a cloud that obscures their silhouette and confuses predators. This fluid reflects light, making the animal appear as a dark, opaque mass, effectively camouflaging it and reducing visibility. This remarkable ability aids in evading predators and enhancing survival in their underwater habitats.
