With eight snaking arms and a shapeless body, the octopus is unlike any other animal in the ocean.

Filled with dramatic underwater images by award-winning photographer David Hall, each book in the Undersea Encounters series brings you face to face with remarkable creatures, from pygmy seahorses the size of a fly to giant squid as long as a school bus.
