The octopus is generally acknowledged to be the most intelligent invertebrate in the world according to marine biologists the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) has a mental capacity comparable with that of a dog If you look at an octopus the octopus will look back at you & actually think about & remember what it is seeing Octopus relates both what is known & unknown about the mind of an octopus as well as detailing the animal's remarkable natural history It is thought to have developed intelligence to compensate for the lack of a shell rather like human beings That's where the similarity ends however
- the octopus is short-lived with a lifespan of two years at most & it mates only once during its life A wily creature with an extremely sophisticated camouflage system the octopus can change the color of its skin to blend in with its surroundings; should this fail it deploys clouds of ink to cover a hasty retreat & there is no more adept escape artist than an octopus which can squeeze its boneless body through seemingly impossibly tight openings
- as many an unwary octopus keeper has discovered to their cost Octopus documents the long & multi-faceted relationship between human & cephalopod It shows how over the millennia some people have considered octopuses as nothing more than a tasty meal & how they are an important component of the modern global fish & seafood industry Other cultures regard them as erotic totems or symbols of the darkest evils The octopus has always fascinated people & this book will immerse readers in its amazing world
