Unscrews the lid, stays in the jar. Octopus is a mad man.

That octopus's name? Brooks Hatlen. Couldn't hack it on the outside. World's changed too much since I been in.

That's exactly what they do in the wild. Just like Eels.

They hide inside small holes in rocks, coral, or whatever they can find to safely eat, sleep, and etc.

One experiment trained an octopus to unscrew a jar with a fish in it by placing the cap real loose at first and slowly tightening it over a period of time. Then they set up a separate tank with several octos and several jars with fish and all the octopuses were starving and pissed that they could see the food and couldn't get at it. Then the trained octopus was given a jar and he unscrewed it and gobbled up the fish. All the other octopuses saw him do it and immediately did the same and got theirs. They're some smart bastards. They may even be self-aware.

Cephalopod intelligence is impossible to quantify with existing models because of their distributed nervous system. It's not quite like anything else currently alive. As best anyone can guess, when an octopus wants to do something, the central brain sends that impulse to a core part of the sub-brains in each of the tentacles, and they just kinda feel out what they need to do with a mixture of internal touch feedback loops and progress updates from central brain.

If you just use the brain to body size ratio and include the motor processors in the tentacles, on paper they should be smarter than everything else on the planet.

Oh please. The lid wasn't even screwed on very tight.

Show me a nigger that can do that.

I would never insult you by showing you something as repulsive as a nigger.

Its wild how intelligent they are.

Nature is crazy man. So many wild animals. So many super cool animals. Then you have cats that murder everything and attack their owners and for some reason the owners don’t leave them in a bayou.

Smarter than all niggers put together
