The Mimic Ocotopus
I saw this piece of footage a few days ago on Eden. Ah truly a wonder of the deep!
The intelligence of octopuses is impressive. However, they can not be trained to use a litter box or get humans to open snap top cans.
ReplyDeleteActually they are able to unscrew jars.
They are fascinating and able creatures
ReplyDeleteMarvellous animals! I could do with a couple of extra legs and arms, if I would have their brains to use them properly!
ReplyDeleteHaha Claudia. It's a wonderful creature, eh?
ReplyDeleteHOLY MOLY! That was wonderful. I think I heard octopi are smarter than dogs.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, eh?
