Octopuses are amazing and beautiful (in their own way).

But I have to say, molluscs aren't my favorite creatures, either to look at or to eat. I don't know exactly what it is, they gross me out a bit.



Octopuses are cephalopods. What's your policy on them?

And look at how awesome they are!


In laboratory experiments, octopuses can be readily trained to distinguish between different shapes and patterns. They have been reported to practice observational learning,[4] although the validity of these findings is widely contested on a number of grounds.[1][2] Octopuses have also been observed in what some have described as play: repeatedly releasing bottles or toys into a circular current in their aquariums and then catching them.[5] Octopuses often break out of their aquariums and sometimes into others in search of food. They have even boarded fishing boats and opened holds to eat crabs.[3]

In some countries octopuses are on the list of experimental animals on which surgery may not be performed without anesthesia. In the UK, cephalopods such as octopuses are regarded as honorary vertebrates under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and other cruelty to animals legislation, extending to them protections not normally afforded to invertebrates.[6]

Oh, then I guess I can freely hate all molluscs! lol

I was thinking that octopuses had some remnant of a shell inside of them? Is that true?

Actually, we're both right smile

Mollusca is a Phylum in which there are two classes:

Bivalvia (Clams, Oysters, Mussels etc.)

and

Cephalopoda (Octopus, Squid etc.)

"...a male would coast up to a courting pair and attempt to flick in one of his spermatophores. Sometimes, while the sneaker was trying to make his deposit, he'd display the typical paired female body patterns of "dorsal white stripe", "golden epaulettes", and "rigid arms"; the females did not seem to appreciate these devious intrusions, and would most often jet away. The sneaker males were not only unpopular, but sloppy, and would splatter spermatophores onto the female's head, arms, or mantle."

This is all too common. disbelief
