HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4'S TODAY PROGRAMME _________________ What is it like to be an octopus? The
octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can change colour as quickly
as it can move  'think' with its tentacles and communicate in sophisticated ways. Marine
biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of
groundbreaking research  from finding previously unknown species to the discovery of signaling
communication. In Many Things Under a Rock  Scheel shares his deep scientific understanding of
octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these mysterious  charismatic creatures. He
investigates four major mysteries about octopuses: what can we know about such elusive and
camouflaged creatures? Why are they so extraordinarily resilient? How do their bodies work? And
what kind of relationships do they have? In unravelling these mysteries  Dr Scheel shows
octopuses to be complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.
