I read one book and now I'm really emotional over these cephalopods

• the plural is octopuses, not octopi, because the origin word is greek and the plural -i is latin and you just don't combine the two
• sometimes they'll carry around halved coconut shells for protection
• their brains have 50-75 lobes and 300-500 million neurons
• 2/3 of those neurons are actually in their arms
• they're technically colorblind but see with their skin via gene sequences on their skin that are normally contained in the eyes
• then there's the Opisthoteuthis Adorabilis x
• they're crazy smart, and scientists seem to be just discovering how smart they truly are
• they love interior decorating and put shells and rocks and things around their dens
• they enjoy puzzles
• they play with toys like legos, cameras, rubber duckies, puzzle boxes, etc
• sometimes they play with toys by gently shooting water from their funnels at the toys back and forth in their tank
• their physical transformative abilities are incredible
• they can regrow arms!
• they've been known to recognize handlers and be able to distinguish one person from another
• they have three hearts
• they have unique personalities (lady octopuses tend to be more feisty, though)
• honestly they're kinda like cats???? mischievous, affectionate, aloof, intelligent, and are 99% most likely aliens????
• basically, i really love octopuses now
