Post by: CLKD on December 14, 2019, 02:09:10 PM: Octopus and eagle square off at Canadian fish farm

The duelling animals were found floating in the waters off Quatsino, British Columbia.

Crews freed the bird from the clutches of the sea creature.

I have to make myself watch them in acquariums as they are clever - many years ago I read a report of a Lab. that had crabs in one tank and an octopus in the other. Every morning the crabs would be gone :o so a camera was a installed. The critter crawled from his tank, across the floor between and into the one which had crabs in. Food on the hop ? :D >shudders<

Post by: Eviepf on December 15, 2019, 03:51:31 PM: Octopus are very intelligent, as Birdy says. I recommend watching a BBC 2 programme which was on earlier this year, called 'An Octopus in my House', if it's still available (on YouTube, maybe)?

Obviously not for those who can't bear to look at them, though!
