      Oldest known octopus has lived 328 million years ago, they are an amazingly well evolved specimen that outlasted 99% of all the species that ever lived. Perhaps that relatively shorter lifespan is the result of millions of years of evolution and not something to be sad about.

      @@onatgomceli6950evolution is not exactly something we should treat as good or welcoming. It’s a brutal process. And shorter lifespan creatures do tend to be better suited to survive because they create offspring faster than animals that take potentially decades to have offspring. All those years in between come with great risks.
      But again, the fact that shorter lifespans are more suited for the survival of the overall species is not a good argument for saying shorter lives aren’t sad.

    My grandpa had a 250 gallon reef aquarium. He went to a Japanese seafood place and saw this little octopus in an aquarium. He ended up buying him and saving him from someone's dinner. Otto stayed alive for about 30 years. He wanted for nothing and enjoyed the puzzles grandpa made with plastic tubes, mason jars full of crabs and others. I swear Otto watched tv lol. He would come out every now and again go to the other tank and help himself to a clown fish which made him more intriguing. Grandpa died and Otto died a few hours later. Otto was buried with Grandpa

    This reminds me of the incredible 2020 Netflix documentary named My Octopus Teacher. A lovely, poignant story about a guy who free-dived down into an underwater South African kelp forest (near Cape Town, SA) where he befriended an octopus. It was fascinating to see the development of their relationship over a year until the octopus mated, laid numerous eggs and naturally died. That part was super sad. When their bond had developed and he would visit (almost daily), the octopus would occasionally lay against his chest to cuddle for several minutes. He got to see her live, eat, and defend herself from sharks. The doc won a well-deserved Academy Award.

    It's a shame he only lives 1 to 2 years, imagine an intelligent animal like that living 20 or 30 years.

      If science could extend their lifespans then they could potentially evolve to be similar to us. The only unfortunate thing is, they don't live long enough to reach that potential.

      If I were an octopus I would not want to evolve to a human, that is for sure. I would be happy under the sea for 1-2 years thank you very much

    A while ago I would’ve found this difficult to credit, but Dr Oliver Sacks wrote that as a child he brought an octopus home and kept it alive and happy in a bath. The octopus became his friend; recognised and welcomed him each day. After a while Oliver was persuaded to return it to the ocean. Combining that story with this, I believe all of it, and it’s wonderful! 🐙 🪸 Wishing Egbert a long and happy life.

      Plural of octopus is octopi. Go back to school and learn something.

      @@scottrogers7242 Merriam-Webster Dictionary: The *three plurals for octopus* come from the different ways the English language adopts plurals. Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that words of Latin origin should have Latin endings. Octopuses was the next plural, giving the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stemmed from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending. 📖
