Octopus With a Big Dilemma - Behavior Observation Test

  • Опубліковано 12 вер 2019
  • The octopus in this observation aquarium is Arnold. He's a new octopus here at Octolab. He absolutely loves his barrel and spends hours just hanging out and observing the people around him.
    We wanted to know what would happen if we removed his barrel, filled it with obstacles, and added another hideout.
    Would he just use the new hideout or would he try to make himself comfortable in his trusty old barrel?

Little guy can't grab onto things with precise control, it's more like a group muscle contraction, where several suckers get activated then he has to release the ones that grab onto stuff he doesn't want. Looks like a pain in the ass tbh... the experimenters definitely knew what objects to stuff his barrel with... almost like they knew his lack of precise control was going to make sweeping out his barrel nearly impossible, but he still tried... he loved that damn barrel.

    Two observations, one question:
    1. It seemed to me that Arnold's eyes displayed annoyance, anger, betrayal, and most surprisingly of all, desire, in a way that was very readable.
    2. It seemed to me that Arnold's first thought was, "I need a vacuum cleaner to clear this crap out. That tube thing over there has magic suction properties for whatever reason. I'll use that." He then attempted to drag the tube over there but it broke instead. He hoped maybe he only needed that piece and could figure out a way to activate it somehow. When that didn't work, he thought it might come in handy. At some point he had gone from betrayal and annoyance at the changes to MacGuyver.
    3. The video cut off early, but it looked like he was going to experiment with building a door with the panel, or otherwise, maybe using it to shovel out the blocks. Does that resemble what happened after the video cuts off?

That is not to say again, they are not experiencing these emotions, but, it has a completely different meaning and context for them. This is something we will have to take into consideration if we were to ever meet an intelligent species from another planet. We will not be able to assume that intelligent alien species is feeling, perceiving, and thinking the same as us. There are quite a few episodes of Star Trek that deals with this subject.
