OCTOPUS: MAKING CONTACT

An octopus certainly does not look like us, but looks can be deceiving. David Scheel, our professorial guide, sets up an aquarium in his home for a Simea, which is active in daytime, so he can find out how like us it actually is. “Heidi” has three hearts, 240 suckers that both taste and touch, and blue blood, but also looks right back when looked at, a very human trait.
