Cephalopod Week 2018 (by sarah)
June the 15-22 is Cephalopod Week this year - Cephalopods are creatures such as squid, octopuses, cuttle fish, nautilus and the extinct groups such as ammonites. These creatures are pretty amazing and I love following all the little snippets and art work about them on social media.
My own seascape drawing nearly always contain at least one said creature though sometimes they are quiet hidden!
You can read a basic over view on these lovelies over at Wikipedia.
Here is last years blog post on it 🙂
The ammonite picture mentioned in it is now available as a free colouring in sheet on The WigglyPet Press under the Cuddly Science section!
I have even set up a new category on this blog - Ammonites and All Things Cephalopod, it is under Quests as they are creatures I like learning about and there will be more stuff written about them. Obviously at some point I need to go back through the archive and find everything I've already blogged about... mainly ammonites!
For those wanting to join in on social media the hash tag is #CephalopodWeek and there is a facebook group.
