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.< 410 0$aAnimal (Reaktion Books) 606 $aOctopuses 606 $aOctopus fisheries 615 0$aOctopuses. 615 0$aOctopus fisheries. 676 $a594.56 700 $aSchweid$b Richard$01136498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825265703321 996 $aOctopus$94002821 997 $aUNINA
