 Here's What We Learned About Octopuses Today

 

  • They are the smartest invertebrates you will ever find on the planet Earth.
  • They learn from observing other creatures of their family and repeating their actions.
  • They figure out how to solve problems and, can even unscrew a cap from a jar.
  • They have been observed using rocks and shells, as tools.
  • They build little forts around their homes, constructed from shells and stones gathered.
  • An octopus has three hearts. One pushes blood through the body.  The others, pump the 
  •  blood supply through the arms.
  • They can change their body shape to mimic other animals. They change colors, as well. 
    • They can lose an arm to escape capture and, it will grow back later.
