The autobiography of an octopus
At times, I feel fortunate to have eight arms. So, I can slap eight people at the same time. Flourishing in the deep splendours of the ocean, I am a mysterious-looking creature that is fascinatingly glamorous as well

I did not know that they only lived 5 years and died after laying eggs! A sad story for such smart and beautiful creatures. They lay a lot of eggs, I was shocked at the number, 10,000. The ones that are eaten in restaurants, I am assuming must be raised on farms?Posting this submitted from Jad!

Watch an octopus waking up from what scientists think could have been a nightmare
The male octopus was repeatedly filmed violently jolting awake from sleep and engaging in unusual activities, but exactly what prompted this odd behavior is unclear.
It certainly looks like he had a nightmare. They are pretty smart creatures.Watch an octopus waking up from what scientists think could have been a nightmare

Those round white objects in the tank are PVC connectors. PVC contains highly toxic chemicals that can leach out and are known to cause cancer and other serious disorders. Putting them in an aquarium with live animals is cruel and idiotic.
The octopus seems to know what the problem is and is doing its best to attack or push away one of them.
