The Science of Octopus Intelligence

The octopus is a fascinating animal, and it will be frequently subject to a meriad of scientific discussions.  Before we begin, it must be noted that the exact intelligence of an octopus is sometimes put under mild exaggeration, because the octopus has types of intelligence that are more akin to the types of intelligence humans have, therefore, unlike horses, who have an intelligence around reading the facial expressions and body language of almost any given animal, the octopus has an intelligence that is more readily observable to human beings.

That being said, the octopus is not deferred by containers.  They easily solve problems, unscrewing lids and unlatching cages.

The most curious thing about them is just how much of their nervous systems are distributed into their arms, resulting in their arms almost having brains of their own, to the point in which the arms seek out food on their own.
