She Seems Fun! The Mattituck Tacopus Mural

The octopus is an incredible creature. Unlike any other animal, these highly intelligent problem solvers are simply fascinating.

Take the arms: they’re considered to have their own ‘mini-brain’ not just because they are so packed with neurons but because they also have independent processing power. For instance, an octopus escaping a predator can detach an arm that will happily continue crawling around for up to 10 minutes.

And, as I recently discovered while out cruising around, not only are octopuses super smart they are also apparently fun to hang out with! What do they do with those intelligent arms? Tacos and beer. Highly evolved creates indeed.
