Some people say octopuses may be the smartest creature on the planet... I had no idea! They apparently have the largest brain-to-body ratio of all invertebrates.
I saw these two videos yesterday and they have been on my mind. When rescued, the octopuses seemed to appreciate it and to recognize the rescuers.
They certainly are exquisite looking!
I didn't realize that there are more than 300 types of octopus and that they typically live 6 months to 5 years. You may want to take a moment for a quick read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus
Isn't this beautiful?
You may want to watch this documentary, too. Within the first 20 seconds, it mentions 9 brains... that got me hooked!
I believe the plural can be octopuses, although octopi may be more correct: http://grammarist.com/usage/octopi-octopuses/
Now that I'm fascinated with octopuses/octopi, I'm sure I'll be researching more and learning about them. Please share if you find anything that you think would be interesting to learn about them, too!
Best wishes,
