Description
The intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees was only recently accepted by scientists, who are now watching octopuses solve problems and trying to decipher the meaning of their color-changing techniques. They show their cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan, endless trickery to get food, and jetting water to bounce balls. Author Sy Montgomery explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus, and the remarkable connections this astonishingly complex, spirited creature makes with humans.
