Remarkable intelligence of octopuses!
Research has shown that octopuses have both short-term and long-term memory. They can learn from experience and adapt their behavior to new challenges.
Octopuses have a highly developed nervous system with approximately 500 million neurons. Most of these neurons are located in their arms, which allows for complex motor control and independent movement.
Some octopus species have been observed using tools, such as using coconut shells or rocks for shelter or defense, indicating a level of cognitive sophistication.
Octopuses can rapidly change color and texture to blend into their surroundings. This requires advanced visual processing and environmental awareness.
