Now we appreciate them for their abilities as escape artists, with sophisticated camouflage systems and ink jets-as well as their roles in tasty dishes from many cuisines. Octopuses are also among the most intelligent invertebrates in the world, with mental capacity comparable to that of a dog. In this heavily illustrated book, Richard Schweid details this animal's remarkable natural history and its multifaceted relationship with humans.<Animal (series)OctopusesOctopus fisheriesElectronic books.Octopuses.Octopus fisheries.594.56Schweid Richard969761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464748403321Octopus2203743UNINA
