Discuss: Deep Intellect

So much love for octopus huh XD. They are such wonderful creature and intelligent too. I was so amazed when an octopus predicted who will be the champion on the previous soccer world cup.

Awesome article. This is the most entertaining, interesting, and philosophical things I’ve read in a while.

When my cousin was working at Woods Hole, they kept “losing” fish from one of their tanks. They put in a security camera, and found that at night after everyone left, their one octopus would crawl out of its tank, across the floor, up onto the next table, get a night-time snack from the fish tank, then go back “home.” !

I read once that some people witnessed an octopus crawl out of the water and into a campfire.

Most enlightening indeed.more research is in the making we trust.

Personally iwas untried by such a thorough observational study..

Follow-up articles would be received with great anticipation.

darnit, this article made me cry.  Athena might have actually considered you a friend.

A very well done, respectful and touching article. As a Seattle-area diver, I’ve been fortunate enough to had numerous encounters with Octopuses, including volunteer work with the Seattle Aquarium. Like the author, I’ve been transfixed by their curiosity, resourcefulness and intelligence. Two added interesting facts; their blood isn’t based on iron, but copper (why it’s colored blue)...and they have three hearts. The Anderson book cited is a particularly well done reference and good read.

Fantastic and fascinating article…
