The octopus is a marine mollusc that makes up, along with squids, brambles and nautilus, the group of cephalopods. All of them are related to shellfish, slugs and snails, the same ones that appear in the backyard. They are invertebrates with unusual intelligence and excellent eyesight, comparable to that of some vertebrates. In laboratory experiments, octopuses learned to move through mazes and even remove the lid of a glass jar to catch a shrimp and feed. All this thanks to its intelligence and the tentacles that _________ great mobility.
