The octopus has long fascinated scientists. The intelligent cephalopods have been known to use coconut shells for mobile homes and armor, disable their suckers to avoid becoming a tangled mess, plot escapes from aquarium enclosures, and even predict World Cup soccer game outcomes.

        Even if I get one, I don't know where to put it. It is so big. I don't have an ocean in my house.

          Well the octopus seen above is relatively small. Only being around 6-12 inches long.

            I think this article is interesting. Octopus 's 'seeing' through their skin? That's unheard of until now. Its amazing how God created these beings. Its just so amazing!
