World’s Smartest Octopus

How smart is an octopus? Well, here’s one who learned how to open a fairly complicated jar just by seeing another octopus do it–once.

I wonder if he can learn to play chess. Imagine being the first human to lose a chess game to an octopus.

Well! I never! But then, I don’t spend any time in the ocean, or in labs that experiment with ocean creatures. I never really missed it, though.

I read in the news about an octopus in an aquarium in New Zealand that squeezed through a small crack in the glass aquarium that he was kept in, found a drainage pipe, went down it, and ended up in the ocean.

I read that story too, Jaroc. Didn’t realize they’re that intelligent. Impressive! Thanks, Lee 🙂

They are one my favorite creatures because they are so bizarre! They have 3 hearts! That poor crab is clearly frightened 🙁
