There is background information and activities in outline form. Each activity explores the issues of 'Clean Oceans' or helps celebrate the sea. The booklet is printed by Scholastic Australia. The Primary and Secondary booklets, along with a new community section and other fact sheets, posters and information flyers make up the Seaweek Educational Kit. These lightweight skeletons are part of a cuttlefish.
Cuttlefish are relatives of octopus and squid.
They are 'intelligent' hunters. They can change colour to match their surroundings and slowly approach prey before catching it with their arms. Cuttlefish make tasty meals for fish, penguins, dolphins, sea lions and seals. Many are eaten. Most predators do not eat the skeleton and release it to float on the surface of the sea.
