Synopsis

In every ocean…just beyond our shores…lives an animal with characteristics we think of as “human” – intelligent, social, curious, gentle, and fierce.  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 colour, 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.  Join us as we reveal “Secrets of the Octopus".
