Book excerpt: The visually arresting and often misunderstood octopus has long captured popular imagination. With an alien appearance and an uncanny intellect, this exceptional sea creature has inspired fear in famous lore and legends—from the giant octopus attack in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to Ursula the sea witch in The Little Mermaid. Yet its true nature is more wondrous still. After decades of research, the authors reveal a sensitive, curious, and playful animal with remarkable intelligence, an ability to defend itself with camouflage and jet propulsion, an intricate nervous system, and advanced problem-solving abilities. In this beautifully photographed book, three leading marine biologists bring readers face to face with these amazingly complex animals that have fascinated scientists for decades. From the molluscan ancestry of today’s octopus to its ingenious anatomy, amazing mating and predatory behaviors, and other-worldly relatives, the authors take readers through the astounding life cycle, uncovering the details of distinctive octopus personalities. With personal narratives, underwater research, stunning closeup photography, and thoughtful guidance for keeping octopuses in captivity, Octopus is the first comprehensive natural history of this smart denizen of the sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction What are octopuses? How do octopuses live? What do octopuses eat? Where do octopuses live? Cirrina versus Incirrina Blue-ringed octopuses Common octopus Mimic octopus Giant Pacific octopus Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The octopus has long fascinated the human mind. They and their relatives are called 'cephalopods' which literally means 'head-foot' in Ancient Greek. The octopus has appeared on several vases and other items in Ancient Greek artifacts. The Ainu people (who are a minority in Japan) have a great octopus , called Akkorokamui, which is said to be bright red and possibly glowing. This creature has been made a minor god in Shintoism, and is worshiped by some Japanese people. A more modern octopus was an octopus named Paul. People believed he could predict soccer tournaments, and he was highly prized. He died a little while back. Lastly, the Hawaiian people's creation myth involves the octopus: they say that the world has been remade several times, and since the last time, only the octopus survived from the old world, an alien among newer creations. The octopus inspires interest wherever it is. Soon, you will see why this creature is so amazing.

Book excerpt: “A pleasant, chatty book on a fascinating subject.” — Kirkus Reviews Octopuses have been captivating humans for as long as we have been catching them. Yet for all of our ancient fascination and modern research, we still have not been able to get a firm grasp on these enigmatic creatures. Katherine Harmon Courage dives into the mystifying underwater world of the octopus and reports on her research around the world. She reveals, for instance, that the oldest known octopus lived before the first dinosaurs; that two thirds of an octopus’s brain capacity is spread throughout its arms, meaning each literally has a mind of its own; and that it can change colors within milliseconds to camouflage itself, yet appears to be colorblind.

Download or read book Guide to Squid, Cuttlefish and Octopuses of Australasia written by Mark Norman and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2000-05-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australasian region is home to the greatest diversity of cephalopods — squid, cuttlefish, octopuses — in the world. Yet, we know very little about these fascinating marine animals. This book provides insights into the biology and behaviour of more than 60 species. From the Giant Squid to the deadly Blue-ringed Octopus, the secret lives of cephalopods are revealed in a highly readable form with outstanding colour images and informative text. For each species there is a distribution map and identification notes which summarise the main features to look for. While the book focuses on species found in relatively shallow coastal waters, a few of the more bizarre deeper-water species are included. Naturalists, divers, reef-walkers and anglers will find the book authoritative, yet very easy to use. A comprehensive section illustrating cuttlebones will enable beachcombers to identify most of the species they are likely to encounter.
