“My daughter is a marine scientist and has worked with octopi, they recognise faces, interact and are very clever.Īnother questioned why an octopus was being sold in the store at all, saying: “Why is this in a supermarket anyway? One commenter said: “Awful, they are intelligent creatures.
The scuba divers continued on their way, leaving the octopus in peace.“The poor thing was priced at £1.41 to start with, which is offensive in the extreme for a living wild creature, to then see it marked down adds insult to injury.
This little one found a conch shell and took shelter inside. Watching an octopus glide through the water is fascinating. This makes it easier for the octopus to open the shell and eat what is inside. They inject a toxic saliva into the shell to paralyze and kill their prey. An enzyme in their saliva breaks down calcium carbonate, the substance that the shells are made of. They have a tiny tooth-like structure on their tongue that allows them to bore a hole in mollusk shells. Octopus feed on fish, crabs, and mollusks. It is no coincidence that the tiny fellow in this video is almost impossible to see against the sand.
The octopus is capable of changing its shape, colour, and texture to perfectly blend in with its surroundings. They are highly intelligent, capable of observational learning and even possess both short and long term memory. Octopus are one of nature's most perfect predator. They've never seen such a tiny octopus and it's as cute as a button! Rumble / Wild Wildlife - These scuba divers are thrilled to have found an octopus gliding over the sand in broad daylight.
