Octopus, The

Synopsis

The octopus is seen in its natural habitat seeking shelter and changing colour with the background; catching prey, fighting its enemies and using its ink-sac in escape. In the second section, courtship patterns are observed. The egg clusters, with the female guarding and tending the eggs until the octopods are born, are shown.
