Octopuses are some of the most intelligent and mysterious animals in the ocean. One of their strangest abilities is that each of their eight arms has its own mini-brain. In fact, about two-thirds of all their neurons are located in their arms rather than in their head. This allows an octopus’s arms to act independently. They can explore objects, sense texture and flavor, and even make simple decisions on their own. So an octopus doesn’t just have one brain. It has a main brain supported by eight additional processing centers, each capable of thinking in its own unique way. A remarkable example of nature that continues to amaze scientists.
