The giant Pacific octopus grows bigger and lives longer than any other octopus species.

They hunt at night, surviving primarily on shrimp, clams, lobsters, and fish, but have been known to attack and eat sharks as well as birds.

Highly intelligent creatures, giant Pacific octopuses have learned to open jars, mimic other octopuses, and solve mazes in lab tests.

  2. Beautiful! There are so many high intelligences on this planet, so many different kinds of "mind". Ravens, Octopi, Cuttlefish, Raccoons, Porpoises…each a true genius in its own special way…The entire planetary biome is one huge co-evolving codebase…time we all learned to appreciate the miracle of this…and develop deep compassion and respect for all fellow creatures.

  3. @stephenbove Well said. And we totally depend on the (good, tho probably not geniuses in any way) bacteria in our guts for our very health too.

  4. Have you try the latest new Chinese recipe for CIBs? It’s a great source of calcium.
