The Soul of an Octopus

" octopuses are as close as you'll come to ever seeing an alien who lives on this earth, because they're just so unlike us," she says. "They can taste with all their skin. They can change color and shape. They can pour their bodies through a tiny opening." In the second part of our conversation, i want to make sure we talk about octopuses and her new book about hawks. But i also want to hear what she has to say about bigger picture issues like ethics towards animals.
