DAVID: We may have answered the question of how the 'Cuttles' got to cuddle, but still haven't answered the question, of how they spread the message of shark avoidance technique.

Or it may just be that all organisms have ways of passing information to one another.-We have info passed by chemical agents. We have monkey see/monkey do, and parent animals, especially the jungle cats show the kids how to hunt, so we know the passage of info exists in many ways, but the Cuttles do something that must be watched to be understood, unless there is Cuttlespeak. Now I am a great fan of scientific research, and perhaps we will turn up cuttle-consciousness type of species transfer, as in Sheldrake. Cuttles have brains, so mental telepathy is a possibility.
