The co-op bookstore for avid readers
Octopuses
In Octopuses, readers will discover the special abilities that these amazing animals have adapted to help them survive in their wild environment, what humans have trained them to do using their special skills and intelligence, and where their abilities are vastly superior to our own. Did you know that an octopus can squeeze through a hole almost as small as its own eyeball, or that they are amazing camouflage and escape artists? The book also looks at how we have used technology to recreate octopuses' abilities.
