Cephalopodcast

While browsing through the PBS website for the Kings of Camouflage, I came across a link to a free UN document of cephalopods. It is available in a manner similar to the sea turtle anatomy book PDF. However, it is produced by the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, so it’s emphasis is more on cephalopods as a fishery. Still, there is a lot of great info and illustrations in there. And it appears that educators can reproduce and distribute the information freely as long as they provide proper attribution.

…free downloads of illustrated fact sheets on nearly every living cephalopod.

There are similar documents available on other marine organisms too:

• 548 Species Fact Sheets (bony fish, crustaceans, marine mammals, algae, shellfish, sharks, cephalopods, etc.)
• FAO Sea turtles of the world
• FAO Marine Mammals of the World
• FAO Sharks of the world, Part I and Part II
