“…follow the life cycle of the ‘Giant Pacific Octopus’ from birth to death…
“…with an eclectic mix of characters who have their own unique connections to these creatures…
“…from the scientist trying to save them…
“…to the explorer trying to understand them…”
“They build cities, use tools, and collaborate with other species to hunt. They have personalities – some are bold, while others shy.
“These animals can change their skin color, texture, and body shape in a blink of an eye and see in wavelengths beyond our vision.
“Recent studies reveal octopuses’ consciousness, sophisticated decision-making, and unique personalities. On tropical reefs, in frigid waters, from the shoreline to the deep sea and everywhere in between, the octopus have made a home.
“Whether transforming their body shape and color to disappear or mimicking their deadliest enemy, the octopus uses shapeshifting superpowers to survive.
The octopus was thought to be nature’s ultimate loner – now its secret social life is revealed.”
