Scientists have discovered that octopuses are intelligent enough to do things… just for fun!

27 May 2019

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.

  • Tweet #WorldElephantDay to spread the word about the plight of elephants and visit our Press Room for Facebook cover photos, sample blog posts, tweets, and more!
  • Sign the World Elephant Day Pledge to show your support.
  • Tweet #BeElephantEthical to promote safe, ethical elephant tourism.  Do not support organizations that exploit or abuse elephants and other animals for entertainment and profit.
  • #10DaysForElephants.  You can protect elephants and their homes.  Take 10 actions in the 10 days leading up to World Elephant Day, August 12.
  • Do not buy ivory or other wildlife products. Be an elephant aware consumer.
    Currently it’s not legal in California, New Jersey, New York, Hawaii, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington State. Ivory ban legislation is also currently being considered in Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Massachusetts.
  • Study elephants in their “keystone” role in the environment and interrelationships with plants and other animals because all of nature is interconnected.
  • Visit elephants in countries where they live in the wild – tourism benefits the economy, provides needed jobs, deters poachers and abuse, and gives you the opportunity to experience the beauty, intelligence, and emotional capacity of these magnificent giants.

  • If you wish to experience elephants in their natural environment, choose eco-tourism operators who support local elephant conservation projects and who treat elephants with respect and dignity.
  • Learn about and support organizations that are working to protect habitat for wild elephants and finding solutions for human-elephant conflict.
  • Support organizations that are working to stop the illegal poaching and trade of elephant ivory and other wildlife products.
  • Support organizations that are protecting wild elephant habitat.
  • Support organizations that are building natural sanctuaries and alternative habitat for domesticated elephants to live freely.
  • Support healthy, alternative, sustainable livelihoods for people who have traditionally relied on elephants, wild animals and natural resources. Learn about indigenous cultures that have traditionally lived in harmony with elephants.
  • Be aware of elephant habitat. Do not buy coffee that is not fair-trade or shade-grown, nor products with palm-oil. These commercial crops are grown in plantations that have decimated elephant habitats. Only buy wood products that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which promotes responsible management of the world’s forests – the natural habitat for elephants and other wildlife.
  • Talk about elephants at your school. Initiate an elephant study group to share knowledge and ideas about the plight of elephants and what can be done to ensure their survival into the future.
  • What do you love about elephants? Their intelligence, empathy and caring for one another are just a few of their qualities. Embrace these qualities and live them in your own life.
  • Use your love of elephants and World Elephant Day, August 12, to start a conversation with the next person you meet. Tie a string around your finger right now so, like an elephant, you don’t forget!
