ALIENS OF THE DEEP SEA

A creature lurks at the bottom of the sea. It has a soft, boneless body and two eyes that take up a quarter of its body weight. It has eight tentacles, one of which contains its sex organ, brain and intestines all in a single pouch. It’s a carnivorous predator with a sharp beak that can grow up to 5 metres long! It can change shape and colour at will in order to blend in with its surroundings, becoming undetectable. With its formidable intelligence, it is able to solve complex problems; it can walk on land and even navigate through fire. Sound like your worst nightmare? Think again! This alien-like creature– the Octopus– has lived side by side with humankind from the beginning, but only now are we starting to unravel the extent of its astounding intelligence.
