How clever is an octopus, really? | AI

In the depths of our seas lives a strange creature with two enormous eyes, a soft boneless body, nine brains, three hearts, eight legs and a tearing double beak.
More than just a mollusk, the octopus is probably one of the smartest beings on the planet.
But just how smart is it?
For ten years, Antonio Cribeiro and his team have been studying octopuses' behavior in a bid to answer this question.

It. Is. Nature. Do y'all eat meat? You wouldn't want to know what they do to it before it gets to you.
What is more interesting about their intelligence which no one talks about is their ability to have perception of their surrounding environment and has cognitive reasoning into changing into various colors and textures to either blend in to the surrounds to hunt or escape. That is a cognitive decision based on its own perception of the current situation it is in at one time. Meaning apart from wanting sustenance like any living organism its makes choices based on outcomes rather than instinct

The novel thing here is that the animal couldn't have gotten there without help, but the problem in itself is nothing new for the octopus.

Didn't state what tasks but this bio textbook is used in many AP bio classes, called Campbell biology. anyways, at least this video had some really cool shots of octopuses dynamically fitting into small openings relative to their size😮

Octopuses are super intelligent. They have eight brains & three hearts, know how to build houses and shelters, can communicate with humans, and change shape & color to disguise themselves from predators. If the earth was fully covered with water and apes didn't evolve years ago, i think octopuses would.
Why don’t the crabs pinch the octopus? Was on the beach the other day and got pinched pretty good by a crab it drew blood 🦀

Rest in peace, Mr. Crab... It's a cruel world.
They are super intelligent, they watch, wait and think before they act...we could learn lots from them
In an experiment, an octopus couldn't reach in and pull a crab out, so it climbed in, ate the crab and then climbed out. They say this shows intelligence, which clearly octopus have much of, but did the octopus factor in that it would be larger after eating the crab which could mean it might get itself stuck inside? I mean let's be real here, if a cat has 9 lives then an octopus has more. It's body is kinda fool-proof and allows for it to make mistakes. Imagine if it killed the crab and then pushed it out first before exiting to ensure it was small enough to get out. That would be some high intelligence right there.

3:02 The Facehugger, scientifically referred to as Manumala noxhydria and labeled as "Stage 1" Xenomorph by Weyland-Yutani researchers (or "Stage 2" by other sources), is a parasitic form of the Xenomorph XX121 species. It emerges from an Ovomorph and represents the second phase in the Xenomorph's lifecycle. Its sole purpose is to implant a Chestburster within a living host organism through their mouth. Lacking offensive capabilities, except for the ability to expel acid primarily for accessing hosts rather than for attack, Facehuggers rely on stealth, surprise, or the immobilization of their victims by another assailant to accomplish implantation. Interestingly, a Facehugger perishes shortly after fulfilling its task.
