Cuddles the Scorpion

Name:

Cuddles

Species:

Scorpion

Home:

Phoenix, Arizona.

Likes:

Watching midnight movies, prowling around cemeteries and wearing sunglasses, even at night.

Dislikes:

His cute name. He’d rather be called “Venom” or “Toxin” or “Sting” or “T-Bone.”

Favorite Foods:

Meat, meat and more meat for this hungry carnivore. Don’t forget the hot sauce!

Biggest Dream:

Vacationing in Alaska during the month that it stays dark all the time.

Favorite Movie:

The Dark Knight (of course).

Unusual Party Trick:

Scientists aren’t sure why, but scorpions are fluorescent under ultraviolet light. Sometimes for fun, his friends turn on a black light to watch Cuddles “glow in the dark.” He is not amused.

Favorite Song:

He’ll tell you it’s “Rock You Like a Hurricane” by The Scorpions, but his friends have caught him dancing to Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose” one too many times.
