Octopuses, squid, cuttlefish and the nautilus. |
| "Sitting in one's office or home, or working in a laboratory, it is very easy to reconcile oneself to the belief that animals must be captured and observed for the advancement of knowledge and for the sake of human progress. |
| But when we are brought face to face with a creature like an octopus, with it's appearance of knowing, then it becomes difficult to maintain one's detachment." |
