Just finished reading "Many Things Under A Rock - The Mysteries of Octopuses" by David Scheel, published by Norton.
Octopuses are fascinating denizens of the ocean deeps. They are primarily solitary creatures who build and who are capable of dreaming. Octopuses in captivity are also great escape artists. There are even some line of thoughts that octopuses represent a divergent line in evolution of life on Earth - even going as far to say that octopuses are examples of a life-form evolving extraterrestrial life brought to Earth from meteors.
Behavioral ecologist and marine biologist David Scheel guides readers through the underwater world of octopuses. He delves into topics as various as octopus anatomy, where to find different species, what they eat, behaviors, reproduction, and how current and future ocean conditions affect octopus populations. Scheel also explores about how octopuses sleep, their learning behaviors, and the rare octopus communities like Octopolis and Octlantis.
A great read about a fascinating ocean dweller.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
