 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.

Why You Should Let Someone Else Do the Fishing

This is a photo I shot at a local fish market.

Some people just aren't the best at catching fish and, I'm one of them.

So, I have to count on real fisherman to get the job done and pay their prices.

Watch this video.  I bet he learns to fish better or, starts paying, like I do.
