Where did the octopuses come from? What was its age. What life did it have? You can not base any conclusion on one octopuss ofcourse. Although i’m sure it might be interesting to study them.

Do they need a so called personality in deep sea? Don’t they have to see to the same system as many humans will have to see to as well? Do humans lack personality then too? As that is what scientists say here. But hey … their texts (or whose text it was here) are not known for very accurate content more often. Not really to the point.

Humans are not that different than this octopuss . look around .. see through some things .. a whole new world … humans …

These researchers (or the writer) should check again what ;personality is in his/her eyes .. what it means, what it is.

that sounds like a personality to me. in fact, it eerily resembles a certain mentalist…

Wasn’t there a QI episode where Stephen Fry explained to us… that… uhm…. that octopuses can learn sth., but they will have forgotten it the very next day (e.g. getting the lid off a jam jar)? Could that be a related topic? Like… they’re a different, uhm, well, person (sort of) every new day?

Btw: Use the Youtube seach engine and go find that spanish “octopus intelligence” video….
