Description

Octopuses are eight-armed, boneless, solitary sea creatures. They’re ugly, slimy and squirmy. Some can weigh over 200 pounds while others can be as small as a golf ball. They have taste receptors all over their body, and scent receptors on every arm. These complex creatures can even solve problems, store memories, recognize shapes and even mimic people.
In Deep With the Octopus takes you inside the octopus’s world – with fascinating facts, photos and everything you need to know about:
- types of octopus
- anatomy
- life and mating cycles
- habitats
- behavior
- intelligence
You’ll also learn how octopuses shoot ink; explore habitats and find out how they have changed over the centuries.
