The Octopus Scientist: Exploring the Mind of a Mollusk

Sy Montgomery and Keith Ellenbogen

The Octopus Scientist: Exploring the Mind of a Mollusk Octopuses are amazing and unworldly creatures. They have three hearts, blue blood, suckers than can taste and feel, and tongues that can drill through shells. They change the color and texture of their skin, fit through impossibly tiny openings, jet quickly away from predators, and are highly intelligent animals with unique personalities. Learn about these elusive mollusks as a team of scientists tracks and studies them off the island of Moorea.
