Octopus Intelligence Experiment Takes an Unexpected Turn

  • In this video, we provide our octopus with a twist top bottle that contains a delicious snack. The bottle has a small opening that allows him to get one of his arms through the hole in order to touch and taste the fish. However, due to the small size of the opening, the octopus is unable to pull the fish through.
    The only way he can access his food is to unscrew the top of the bottle. He was able to find another way into the bottle that was not foreseen by his handlers.
    It’s always fun when an experiment takes a turn we did not expect.
    In order to understand the force applied to pop off the white top, we tried to replicate this ourselves. We were able to pop the top off outside of the tank, but when the bottle was inside the tank, we were unable to duplicate what the octopus did. We applied a tremendous amount of force and we were still unable to do what he did inside the water.

      Honestly, as a kid, I had no idea you could screw the tops off jars. I thought you had to pry them open and was shown by my Mom how to open them. This puzzle isn't really that great because it relies the octopus trying something out by chance. It'd probably be smarter to observe his deduction through a multi-step experiment where he needs knowledge gained from phase 1 to apply it to phase 2

      @hhhk20 Geometrically, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Intelligence is "the ability to understand". The quintessential intelligence test for a mouse is a maze -- but not because the complexity of the solution tells us how smart the mouse is. On the contrary, it's the _simplicity_ of the mouse's solution (with respect to the complexity of the maze) that tells us how smart the mouse is... because simple solutions demonstrate the mouse's "ability to understand" the situation. Ergo, the smartest mouse is always the one that solves it in the fewest steps.
      If you remove the obstacles from a maze, the shortest distance between two points is still a straight line, and the mouse will go straight for the cheese. So, you can only gauge the mouse's intelligence if you add obstacles. But that doesn't change the fact that the shortest distance is the best solution.
      People often associate complexity with intelligence because of a basic association fallacy. But the ability to make a thing simple is the fundamental function and purpose of intelligence.
      "Any intelligent fool can make a thing bigger, more complex, more destructive. It takes an act of genius to work in the opposite direction" -- Einstein
      (This is, as an aside, the biggest failing of Paley's watch argument for a higher power - intelligence is NOT indicated by the combination of complexity and function, but rather by elegantly simple solutions to complicated problems. Meaning the if the universe were designed by an intelligent being, it would be infinitely simple, rather than infinitely complex. Waste not, want not.)

When #2 would clean the tank he would be ruff and noisy. Without harming it he would do things to annoy it. In time when #1 came in the octopus showed no problem with him. When #2 came in it would shoot spurts of water at him. This proved the octopus could learn to differentiate between the two of them.

      Well she went away for something like 5 years and one day she'd returned to visit, and that little shit still remembered her and squirted her from across the room again. Those things amaze me.

    I just love these brilliant creatures!
    While i was at a local Sea Life Centre, here in UK, there was a huge open pool, with various compatible species inside & you were allowed to dip your hand in & " pet" the fish
    Many were so used to this & enjoyed it too, that when you approached they would hurry to the side & await your caress, the Skate & small Rays in particular were super friendly
    When i 1st visited, an Octopus came to me, i stroked it, played with it & talked to it, leaning forward & as close as i could.
    I just knew it enjoyed our contact.
    As i walked around the pool, it followed me & bobbed about waving its tentacles so i had to keep going over to it & it would push other creatures out of the way to garner my full attention.
    I went to different sea life displays, then to the cafe for lunch, a few hours later & as soon as i walked back into the pool area, my Octopus zoomed over.
    About 4 wks later i returned with my then young daughter & that time taking 2 of her friends with us.
    Never thinking my Octapus buddy would remember me, as i walked in, he/she was there at the edge waiting for me.
    As soon as i put my hand in, its tentacles explored my hands, fingers, wrist, forearm, it was a really pleasant sensation.
    I spent ages talking to it & petting it.
    I think for almost a whole year i kept making excuses to go back to the centre to see my Pal
    & sure enough, it would be waiting.
    One of the Aquarium staff told me they do pick out certain people, both male & female, young & old, they have no preference but seem to Know
    Somehow that a human is receptive!!
    I left it a while because of commitments & sadly when i returned, i found out my pal
    Had been sent to another Sealife centre because it was so friendly & they wanted to encourage
    Disabled children to interact with it & those kids with learning problems.
    However i have some lovely photos i was allowed to take & they are a precious reminder of my little 8 legged friend which i named Eddie.. 🐙

    Really interesting video. Animals of all types do amazing things. I have 4 cats. 1 is a 10 year old black cat and the other 3 are triplet Russian Blue sisters. The triplets are very very clever and learn habits off of each other. Ash (aka The Pink Demon) is one of the triplets and the smartest of the bunch. I have a container of treats up in my room and they know when the container comes out. I used to have 1 where the top just pops on and off but Ash was able to figure out how to pop the top and get the treats. I finally had to switch to a container where the top screws just like in this video. Cats thankfully don’t have thumbs so she can’t get the top off. I have a little container that lights up in different colors and it’s shaped like a light bulb. There is a small hole on the side of this container so cats (or dogs) could play with it and try to get the treats through the hole and into their stomachs. Stormy (black cat), Phoenix, and Smokey never figured it out but Ash figured it out in probably under a minute. We are not the only intelligent life by a long shot. It was really interesting to see this video and remember what Ash has been able to accomplish!

      @@celaestisamory1834 Why you gonna do him like that, but on some real shit. I think octopi,octopuses? Have a higher intelligence than we give them credit for, I think it's documented in another youtube video that in a small part of the ocean octopuses are actually teaching their offspring skills so they don't have to learn them again. Really the only downside stopping the octopus uprising is their extremely low lifespan, they're self aware, they seem somewhat like they have the ability to take a step back and analyze a situation, shit there is even a report of one memorizing a security guards patrol schedule and escaping to get some fish, before going back to it's own tank.
      I'd like to argue that their intelligence has to be at least 15-16 on a realistic level. I'm sure they somewhat also feel emotion as well, like not many animals can just figure out very complex problems, realize how big they are compared to other things around them, try once, and then backs away to think about the problem they're facing, yeah sure a 5/yo could do that, but lets be honest here, most 5/yo are stupid, and can't figure out complex problems like some of the experiments people give to octopuses.

      It's probably a male octopus, that why he resorted to using his strength. A female octopus would have probably spent 2 days trying to convince the fish to leave the bottle under it's own accord. The male octopus would be much more efficient and faster than a female octopus.

      When you can find a fish smart enough to do things like this I will come to their defense. I believe there is a spectrum among animals in level of consciousness and intelligence, and we have to give some deference to those at the higher levels. Otherwise, we should stop swatting flies. Of course, some PETA members might agree with that, but I think it goes against common sense.

      The idiomatic definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
      We live fifty times longer than most octopuses, so five minutes of an octopus's time is worth about four hours of a human's time.
      I figure I'd usually wait maybe half a minute at most before a second attempt, as would most humans.
      So octopuses are around 500 times saner than humans by this estimate.
