Kid Scoop is heading to the ocean on a cuttlefish expedition. More octopus than fish, these soft-bodied, multi-armed, “intelligent” sea creatures boast unique adaptations to live in the briny currents. With bones so delicate they float, color-changing skin to fool predators, and a shell safety stored inside their soft bodies, cuttlefish are well-suited to thrive and survive in their natural habitat. Dive into this issue to learn more true or false facts, hunt for compound words in the news, and discover how scientists test the cuttlefish’s ability to learn. Grab your wetsuit, snorkel, and flippers and join us for a sea-going adventure!
