| Hiding In A Coconut You can either click on the pic and wait for the video to come up,or |
I enjoyed a few of the videos on that website. Being an animal lover, however, I found this one too hard to resist. I really enjoyed watching that octopus hide by closing the 2 halves of coconut together like it's supposed to go. It was funny seing it walk on it's tentacles-I've never seen that done before. I've seen other videos that clearly show that the octopus is a very clever creature of the deep. Ones where the octopus is able to figure out how to get into a jar with a lid on it,or inside a beaker or other type of glass container in order to eat a crab inside. .Or where the octopus manages to squeeze through tubes to get where it wanted to go. One in particular involved 2 octopi facing each other. One octopus knew how to open a container with 3 lids on it,but the other didn't. The 1st lid pulled all the way off. Another lid had to be twisted off. The last one pulled off,but didn't come off the container completely. The octopus that didn't know how to open the container learned by watching the other one do it. The experiment was repeated many times,with people placing the container in different positions so that each opening was used. It showed that the octopus learned how to do it, and was not just repeating movements. Quite interesting.
Looks like you are getting this "blogging" thing figured out - like adding the picture but making it a link to the video. Great!
ReplyDeleteI think octopi are interesting creatures - not sure if I could touch one or not.
I read this one earlier today sounds amazing of what a octopus can do with anything with their legs. I am looking to do this assignment myself as soon as I can. You did a great job though with description on this.
