    I feel like octopuses don’t get enough credit for their intelligence. They have excellent problem solving skills, a keen memory, and, as I recently learned, can even have a playful nature. Just before covid hit, I took a snorkeling trip in Bora Bora. The local tour guide introduced us to the most social and curious octopus ever. She swam right up to the guide, did a greeting kind of wave dance for all of us and then proceeded to play a game of tag with him. She would grab his hand, let go and then dart underneath the boat to the other side and wait for him to swim to her, so he could tap her head and she would then race back to chase him in order to grab the guide’s hand again. That back and forth went on for several minutes. As each of us slowly entered the water, she swam up to examine us individually. She even wrapped herself around the waist and leg of another snorkeler as he lounged off the steps of the small pontoon boat. The guide had to feed her a few chunks of fish so she would reluctantly let the man go. He said “Gigi is such a flirt isn’t she?” It was so surreal. I know I will probably never see anything that incredible ever again. I will always have respect for this amazing creature.

      I think we underestimate a lot of animals intelligence only because we view ourselves as being the most intelligent/developed species. A very narrow view.
      We might be the smartest species in the world, but if we can teach octopi the real world, maybe we can introduce them into our world and in a few hundred years many things could change or perception of octopi

      @marcusmiro7481 Před rokem +14

      @@viviennejordan215 They definitely do not get lonely. Loneliness is an evolutionary trait that exists only social animals. The reason loneliness exists is to discourage us from attempting to live solitary lifestyles, because our species survival strategy is highly intelligent cooperation. So to facilitate this, we feel the need to be around other members of our species, and have positive interactions with them. This is why it feels bad when people are mean to you for no reason, even if what they said doesn't hurt your feelings. It's because we are biologically driven to want to bond with one another, even in fleeting moments (why we feel so compelled to be nice to strangers.)
      Cephalopods are solitary animals. They do not experience loneliness. That's not to say they can't experience some strange form of friendship, but at the end of the day they do not feel biologically driven to form social bonds, at all - it just isn't in their DNA.

So the octopus grabbed the shrimp, escaped the tank, moved down the hall and threw the shrimp on the handlers desk. They could’ve escaped at any point, but only did so when the handler accidentally gave them a bad shrimp

They would feed him crabs and other things he liked while preparing their nets etc for the days fishing. When all was ready and Marios belly was full he would lead the fishermen to the location where the fish were on that day. True story.

    I've seen this before but my favorite part is always the fact that he realized she was way stronger than him and when she showed up he took the opportunity to try and get her to assist him.

    Many yrs ago I had a dwarf octo that I rescued from a pet shop that said they were getting rid of him because he had a problem and didn't want to treat it. He lived in his own tank and was spoiled rotten... But was very sweet. Loved shrimp, crayfish, and just about anything... He lived about five yrs with me, which I understand is about their life expectancy. 🐙

      Copied and pasted from the Merriam Webster website:
      “The three main plurals for octopus come from the different ways the English language adopts plurals. Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that Latin origins should have Latin endings. Octopuses is the next plural, which gives the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stems from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending.”

Intelligent, clever tool users, the biggest hindrances in front of them are probably their own asociality and the fact that you can't discover fire underwater, but IIRC there's a kind of octopus working on the former.
