Octopuses are eight-armed, boneless, solitary sea creatures.

They're ugly, slimy and squirmy.

Some can weigh over 200 pounds while others can be as small as a golf ball.

They have taste receptors all over their body, and scent receptors on every arm.

One kind of octopus can even spit out toxic saliva at its enemies!

These complex creatures can even solve problems, store memories, recognize shapes and even mimic people.

In Deep with the Octopus takes you inside the octopus's world--with fascinating facts, photos and everything you need to know about:

    types of octopus
    anatomy
    life and mating cycles
    habitats
    behaviour
    intelligence

You'll also:

    learn how octopuses shoot ink.
    explore habitats.
    find out how octopuses have changed over the centuries.
    discover the neat tricks they perform.
    learn what octopuses eat, and what eats them.
    take a quiz.
