Octopuses are known for their intelligence, color-changing skin, and escape artistry, but their greatest strength is adaptability. Join Kirt Onthank, professor of biology and director of the Rosario Marine Biology Program at Walla Walla University, to explore how these remarkable creatures survive and thrive through problem-solving minds, shape-shifting bodies, and rapid life cycles. As climate change transforms the seas, their adaptability may determine whether they continue to flourish, or come into conflict with us.
