In the article that I read, I learned that octopuses are considered one of the most intelligent invertebrate animals. Octopuses can learn very simple mazes between shapes and patterns. This article that I read was mainly about their intelligence and the way they live and move. Also there was a lot of talk about how they were an enrichment to the environment. Octopuses are also able to unscrew lids off of jars.
There were many facts that I learned that I have never heard about when I read this article. I learned that Octopuses have about 168 million neurons in their brains compared to us with having about 100 billion neutrons. I also learned that octopuses use their brains more efficient than we do. I thought that it was very cool have they tested a female giant pacific octopus unscrewing a lid off of a child proof container. The octopus was able to unscrew the lid in 55 minutes.
I think that its a good idea that scientists are testing these animals because it could show us that there are some creatures our there that are very smart and can think differently that we do. They should just keep on testing these octopuses so that we can learn more about them.
There were many cool facts about theses octopuses, but how long have they been testing theses octopuses? Also what other tests have they been giving theses octopuses?
