Yes, an octopus does have eight tentacles – and that is the
extent of what most people know about the octopus. Come with us to French Polynesia where many
scientists work together to study the different species of octopi in the
coastal waters around the island and hopefully apply what they learn to help
human.
This title in the Scientists in
the Field series brings extensive information about life in the field – forming
hypothesis, finding animals to study, comparing information to previous bodies
of work, and even understanding that a few observations do not necessarily
bring any kind of concrete conclusions, even if they do provide large amounts
of information.
