"Octopus whisperer" Sy Montgomery's beautifully illustrated new book 'Secrets of the Octopus' provides fascinating new insights into these highly emotional, sentient beings.
Based on the latest scientific research and wonderful stories, 'Secrets of the Octopus' is a must-read.
Octopuses are amazing animals. They're extremely intelligent and highly emotional, sentient, large-brained beings whose behavior continues to fascinate people around the world. Award-winning author Sy Montgomery—often called the"octopus whisperer" based on her outstanding bookthat will endlessly fascinate readers.
Octopuses use tools. They will lug two coconut halves, for instance, long distances for later assembly as a safe Quonset hut. They may seize shells as shields to protect themselves against attackers. Octopuses also work together with fishy associates, cooperatively hunting prey, like a person with a German short-hair pointer. A fish will come and signal to the octopus that it's found a good spot where they can both find good prey. The fish may point out the spot, and the octopus will pour its bendy, almost liquid arms into a crevice that the fish could never reach. Both species benefit.
