Cuddles The Cuttlefish

language ( Jan. 29, 2015)
This story celebrates the wonderful marine environment round the south-west coast of England, as seen through the eyes of a young cuttlefish. Cuddles is one of the first of the offspring of Cleo and Clive, a pair of adult cuttlefish which had lost their first clutch of eggs to a pollution incident. Cleo and Clive teach their their offspring what is edible, what they can play with and what is just nice to see. They show the young cuttlefish how to navigate to a reef and a wreck site, warning about the dangers and what is likely to try to eat them. Cleo demonstrates the various skills that cuttlefish possess. Cuddles and his brother, Kurt, are natural leaders amongst their brothers and sisters. They meet many marine creatures on their adventures. Cuddles teams up with Sammy, a young squid, which shows Cuddles a special inlet where a seahorse lives. Sadly, Sammy disappears but, while Cuddles searches for him, he meets a lovely young cuttlefish called Claudie. She shows Cuddles round the wreck and allows him to share her home. The two learn about a cuttlefish gathering and meet up with their families again. Cuddles and Claudie stay together throughout the Autumn and Winter and by the Spring they have grown into young adults. They realise that they are now more than just friends. The cuttlefish life cycle starts over again as Cuddles and Claudie raise their own youngsters.
