feels wrong to eat something so patently intelligent, mainlyhypocritical and/or logically inconsistent, i know, since i do still eat other animals, but there’s just something about octopuses 🤷♂️

I highly recommend the recent book "The Soul of an Octopus" by Sy Montgomery. Some amazing stories of her getting to know them as individuals.

I was amazed to learn that octopus are so short-lived. It takes smart mammals ages to mature, but these lil guys just come out of the gate like “good morning, I’m a scientist.”

I've photographed a number of them, but they're universally shy. Nearly all scuba divers will avoid harassing octopuses in their natural environment, but this little fella seems a bit odd. Don't inadvertantly stick a finger around their beak under the mantle, they can take the tip off in a single bite.
― It's because I'm human, isn't it?! (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 18:36 (eight years ago)
i was just gonna ask "don't they bite with that beak?" they look terrifyingly sharp.
