Octopus Intelligence

Octopus Intelligence

Did you know octopuses are among the most intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom? Their highly developed nervous systems allow them to solve puzzles, open jars, and even escape enclosures! Each of their eight arms contains roughly two-thirds of their neurons, making them capable of independent movement and decision-making.

Octopuses are also masters of disguise. They can instantly change the color and texture of their skin to blend into their surroundings or mimic other sea creatures. And here’s a fun fact: they have three hearts! Two pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Interestingly, their blood is copper-based, which gives it a blue color.
