I can’t hardly believe that Richard Rodriguez hasn’t already posted a link to this article by Erik Lacitis in the Seattle Times. Ken Lambert took the photo of Mr. Anderson.
How it started that Roland Anderson became one of the world’s top experts on the giant Pacific octopus — the largest octopus in the world, and home here in Puget Sound — was when he worked as the night-shift biologist at the Seattle Aquarium.
That was 33 years ago.
Now, more than 200 research papers later, Anderson still never tires of telling stories about these creatures.
The giant Pacific octopus, he says, leads a life that, well, you could write a book about. So Anderson has, and his book about his life’s obsession comes out in May.
