Summary
There are over 700 species of cephalopod and their existence proves that intelligence develops in very different ways, While whale brains look somewhat similar to ours, cephalopods carry a large percentage of their brains in their arms and they are capable of learning and retaining information. They have eyes and other senses rivalling those of humans, they change texture and body shape and they change colour faster than a chameleon. From the lone, inky hunting of the octopus, to the social squid and the unusually large brained cuttlefish, Octopus, Squid, & Cuttlefish reveals the evolution, anatomy, life history, behaviours and relationships of these spellbinding creatures
