Smart than you think and more clever than you will likely ever know, is the octopus. There are many questions in which we face in life such as what defines a creature as an ethical food source, just how smart are octopuses, and why was there ever an octopus that weighed 300lb? If some of these questions interest you or you just like octopus here are a few books you may enjoy.
