About this title

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.

To find out more about these animals and the world in which they live, you won't need a wet suit--just dive into Undersea Encounters!
