That is cute! I've always loved octopi. They're very intelligent.

That's awesome!

Then there are the stories (I've heard it told about so many acquariums that I just assume it is a marine biologist urban legend, but I hope not) of giant Pacific octopuses escaping their tanks, eating fish out of neighboring tanks and then returning to their tanks.

I do know that some species learn mazes better than rats.

They can also open jars.

And I once watched a documentary on Nickelodeon that showed one operating a cash register and being irritable.

Yeah, Ralphie studied these creatures. He said it all that time that they are indeed very smart. And, yes, leaving a tank to go to another one and back does indeed happen. Apparently, that happened at the Monterey Bay Aquarium long ago.

Squid. (well, that is also a cephalopod also, but all the stuff I've seen always involved octopi, not squid).

Shows what I know trying to reference a show I've never seen an entire episode of.
