The Australian Giant Cuttlefish aggregation is truly one of nature’s great events. Thousands of cuttlefish congregate in the shallow waters around the Spencer gulf in South Australia, to mate and perpetuate the species. The cuttlefish like alien beings, display an array of patterns, textures and colours to indicate their intentions. As male courts a female or wards off other males, and entourage of suiters stay poised for an opportunity to mate with the female. A visual delight and a rare glimpse of nature in all its glory.

I used to spend a week of every school holiday on the Yorke Peninsula side of that gulf… at certain times of the year, you had to take care walking down the beach if you were barefoot due to all the cuttlebones. Oh and one of the islands in that gulf was the testing site of both disease-based attempts to reduce / eliminate rabbit numbers.
Good times.
And beautiful they are, but can they write insightful poetry? No. No, they cannot. Only the One True Cuttlefish can do that.
Which alien beings did they bring in to find out whether the cuttlefish liked them?
YOB, does the One True Cuttlefish write poetry in a full spectrum language or just sepia coloured ink? There may be a translation error when a monochrome language like ours is chosen.
