Synopsis

With eight snaking arms and a shapeless body, the octopus is unlike any other animal in the ocean.

Readers will learn about various aspects of the octopus, including its high intelligence level, its masterful ability for camouflage and other defense mechanisms, and its reproductive behavior. Squids and other octopus relatives are also discussed.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Did you know that octopuses are thought to be the most intelligent invertebrates? You can stare at an octopus and it may stare back at you--something you can't do with any other invertebrate. You probably wouldn't give a clam a name. It's an animal that really doesn't have much personality! But octopuses, fellow mollusks, have been given names by their keepers in aquariums because they do sometimes seem to possess distinct personalities. Octopuses can also morph into almost any shape and change their color to match practically any background. They really are the superheroes of the undersea world!
