Octopus Ocean – Shaking Hands With A Giant Pacific Octopus

Shaking hands with a Giant Pacific Octopus… Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young shares an excerpt from his new book Octopus Ocean: Geniuses of the Deep.“Mark Leiren-Young’s Octopus Ocean gives young readers a wonderful sense of many aspects of the world of octopuses in a very clear, concise and interesting way. It makes the reader think, and it educates without preaching. This book is a door to the magnificent world of the octopus—a door that, if opened and explored, will bring much joy and connection.” – Craig Foster, star and producer of My Octopus Teacher, co-founder of the Sea Change Project.Made in Canada 🍁Shownotes:3:33 The introduction to Octopus Ocean: Geniuses of the Deep.4:52 How Storm arrived at the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea.
