It only took me a few minutes to go from being a little boring at first to feeling deeply engrossed in it. I thought all mollusks couldn't think. When the tentacles of the octopus touched him, I felt incredible, it completely shattered my thoughts on invertebrates. When she swam with Craig, I was speechless. It wasn't until Craig said that the IQ of octopuses was even comparable to that of low-level primates, that I realized that I was too ignorant and that the world was so wonderful. The first time I touched my heart was after the nightgown shark took one of her tentacles and went free. She dragged her broken body and struggled to return to her cave from the crevice in the rock. I squeezed deeply for her. sweated. At that time, I even had some grievances against Craig, why can't I make an exception and just break the laws of nature once to help her? But as the story progressed, my emotions disappeared. When she saw that in order to reproduce her offspring, she could only let herself not eat or drink in the cave. After the eggs hatched, she dragged her weak and dilapidated body away and watched herself being eaten away. My tears couldn't hold back when I saw the nightgown shark biting her shattered body into the depths of the forest. I feel sad for her life, and I sing praises for her greatness, not only for the reproduction of future generations, she also uses her body to continue the laws of nature. Cheers to life.

    However, I really hate this kind of gendered language against the gods, it's totally against the sex! Midlife crisis men, the ability to imagine beautiful things is a cliché.

    I thought it was too emotional, and felt that the narrator was not a scientist but a writer.

My Octopus Teacher quotes

  • Craig Foster: What she taught me was to feel... that you're part of this place, not a visitor. That's a huge difference.

  • [first lines]

    Craig Foster: A lot of people say an octopus is like an alien. But the strange thing is, as you get closer to them, you realize that we're very similar in a lot of ways.
