Moontanman Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 In this video an octopus appears to lead a woman to a small cashe' of human artifacts including a photo of a human. Is it a reasonable conclusion that the octopus realized the possible value of a picture of a human or somehow thought a human would be interested in a picture of a human or even that the octopus connected the artifacts with the human due to the picture? If this is accurate it raises some real questions about just how intelligent an octopus really is. The video is 01:34 long, in my experience I've seen octopus do some unbelievable things but I never was able to decide if it was my own perspective that decided the octopus was acting as an intelligent agent or if the octopuses actions were actually intelligent independent of my own perception of its actions? oldpaddoboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldpaddoboy Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Yes, an amazing creature! The mind boggles as to what they are thinking. I have seen similar incidents and demonstrations with Elephants. Moontanman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
