RADIO 4'S TODAY PROGRAMME _________________ What is it like to be
an octopus? The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply
mysterious creature. It can change colour as quickly as it can
move, 'think' with its tentacles and communicate in sophisticated
ways. Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with
these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research, from
finding previously unknown species to the discovery of signaling
communication. In Many Things Under a Rock, Scheel shares his deep
scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid
adventures with these mysterious, charismatic creatures. He
investigates four major mysteries about octopuses: what can we know
about such elusive and camouflaged creatures? Why are they so
extraordinarily resilient? How do their bodies work? And what kind
of relationships do they have? In unravelling these mysteries, Dr
Scheel shows octopuses to be complex emotional beings and reveals
what they can teach us about ourselves.
