Octopuses are like aliens on Earth: three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to squeeze through a space the size of their eyeball; they can use tools, transform their bodies to mimic other animals and even communicate with different species.

James Cameron’s Secrets of nature series has invited us into the lives of whales and elephants in previous outings, and with Monday’s Earth Day looming, a new three-part docuseries observes the fascinating world of the octopus, revealing aspects of the bizarre eight-tentacled creatures’ intelligence and social skills. Paul Rudd narrates, with National Geographic Explorer Dr. Alex Schnell getting close to octopuses including Scarlett, whose mating ritual with a male companion in the Great Barrier Reef is among the behaviors caught on camera.
