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.

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.

“Cephalopods are often misunderstood creatures. Three biologists set the record straight on the behaviors and evolution of these invertebrates of the sea.” —Science News Largely shell-less relatives of clams and snails, the marine mollusks in the class Cephalopoda—Greek for “head-foot” —are colorful creatures of many-armed dexterity, often inky self-defense, and highly evolved cognition. They are capable of learning, of retaining information—and of rapid decision-making to avoid predators and find prey. They have eyes and senses rivaling those of vertebrates like birds and fishes, they morph texture and body shape, and they change color faster than a chameleon. In short, they captivate us. From the long-armed mimic octopus—able to imitate the appearance of swimming flounders and soles—to the aptly named flamboyant cuttlefish, whose undulating waves of color rival the graphic displays of any LCD screen, there are more than seven hundred species of cephalopod. Featuring a selection of species profiles, Octopus, Squid, and Cuttlefish reveals the evolution, anatomy, life history, behaviors, and relationships of these spellbinding animals. Their existence proves that intelligence can develop in very different ways: not only are cephalopods unusually large-brained invertebrates, they also carry two-thirds of their neurons in their arms. A treasure trove of scientific fact and visual explanation, this worldwide illustrated guide to cephalopods offers a comprehensive review of these fascinating and mysterious underwater invertebrates—from the lone hunting of the octopus, to the social squid, and the prismatic skin signaling of the cuttlefish. “After reading about the cephalopods’ abilities and behaviors, as well as their potential for advancing our lives, readers might think twice before ordering their next calamari appetizer.” —American Scientist
