I really wonder what she is dreaming about.

Like, does an octopus having a pleasant dream look different from an octopus having a nightmare?

cat, I'd expect that most most sleeping octopuses aren't out in the open but in secure(?) dens where color flashing isn't such a giveaway.

japanese researchers are way ahead of you on this one (nsfw)
yeah Leee, that makes sense. happy little octopi/octopuses/octopodes, all cozy in their dens, dreaming dreamy octopus dreams.

My family and I did the last session of this course because my 8-year-old is a squid fanatic, and it was a very worthwhile and recommendable experience.

Doh, I didn't see that thread! Will bookmark it now!

I was a bit tongue in cheek there, I don't think the cephalopod ILX traffic is so intense that we need two threads!

excuse me this is a squid-exclusionary space by design, we absolutely do need two cephalopod threads
