Octopus Getting Shrimp in Jar
Loading...
Uploaded by lonedragonfli on Nov 30, 2007
Extremely intelligent, this octopus is getting enrichment trying to get shrimp out of plastic jar with small holes drilled in sides. Halfway through, the tentacles are visible inside the jar. Water surface is on left side.
Enrichment, regarding animals at zoos and aquariums, includes anything that keepers do or add into an animal's enclosure that is new or different than usual, even including scents.

I read a National Geographic article in which an octopus figured out how to get a shrimp out of a bottle. The bottle had been corked. The cork was held in place by a pin stuck through the neck of the bottle and the cork. It had to figure out that it needed to tug out the pin before it could tug out the cork and only then get to the shrimp.
That's fairly intelligent. I know humans that might not solve that problem.

@SkeksisRule Too bad octopuses have really short life-spans :( Maybe it is a good thing because otherwise they would probably rule the world.

I've seen research about this and it's interesting. If you place an octopus that knows how to do this next to one that doesn't *separate aquariums of course* then the 2nd octopus that doesn't know how to do it will learn from the one that knows how to do it.
