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."
