Mesmerizing movements of an octopus off the northeast coast of Sardinia, Italy. Several explanations have been given for this interesting behavior, one being that the octopus is bathing her eggs beneath her to oxygenate them. A female's growing eggs require constant influxes of oxygen, so she may be gently wafting currents of water over them repeatedly. But without being able to see the eggs, we cannot confirm this explanation with 100% confidence! 🧐 Another possibility is that the octopus is s

In a fascinating glimpse into octopus behavior, researchers have documented female gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) engaging in what appears to be deliberate projectile throwing — targeting other octopuses with shells, silt, and algae propelled by jets of water from their siphons. A peer-reviewed 2022 study in PLOS ONE analyzed around 21 hours of underwater footage from Jervis Bay, Australia (2015–2016), revealing dozens of these “throws,” especially during social encounters such as fights, a

Octopus social skills: *sees other octopus* *throws sand in face* This #whereintheworldwednesday we’re finding the debris-throwing octopuses! In a recent study, wild octopuses were documented throwing debris for the first time! Throwing things is a behavior that is uncommon for animals and only seen in a few mammals. This behavior was observed in the gloomy octopus (Octopus tetricus). They used jet propulsion to launch silt and shells, sometimes hitting other octopuses nearby! Octopus are solita

What can’t an octopus do? 🐙 These mesmerizing invertebrates are brainy, behaviorally complex, and seem to lock eyes with us in a way that feels almost human. Neuroscientist Angelique Allen dives deep into the mind of the California two-spot octopus to explore how these animals “think” about what they see. Using cutting-edge tools, Allen shows movies to octopuses and records real-time brain activity to uncover how their vision works. Despite being colorblind, octopuses are master camouflagers, a
