Answer to Monday's Riddle: The Clever Cuttlefish...


Excellent guessing Riddlers! This week, it's all about the mysterious cuttlefish. Fairday's review will show us what life is like beneath the waters reflection, and Friday, we're excited to chat with our friend Gueh Yanting, Claudine about her children's books. Over the weekend, we always enjoy hearing from you on The DMS Wants to Know. See you all around the book block ; ) ~ F

I move through the depths with my "W" eyes. I've mastered the craft of clever disguise. I've arms like tentacles, and a shell of bone; I'm usually drifting about all alone. My blood may be green, but I'm color blind- though I'm the brightest of my kind. Some of my cousins are funnily perverse, shooting out gases to swim in reverse. I've my own ink, though I don't use it to write- it helps me evade an upcoming fight. I like it here in my garden of blue, listing and swelling on the ocean's cue. If you can guess just what I am, surly you must be a cephalopod fan.  

What am I? Answer: A Cuttlefish 
Here was the clue- a giant cuttlefish!

    I probably wouldn't have guessed cuttlefish because I don't remember seeing one before. LOL! But it's very cool.

    Yep we got it wrong. Hubby and I never heard of cuttlefish. Learn something new everyday! I fix the problem on my site (hopefully) it was a problem with Blogger template.
