Giant Pacific octopuses are able to recognise individual humans [66] and common octopuses can recognise other octopus individuals for at least one day. [ 67 ] In a study on social learning, common octopuses (observers) were allowed to watch other octopuses (demonstrators) select one of two objects that differed only in colour.
In the UK from 1993 to 2012, the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) was the only invertebrate protected under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. [110] In 2012, this legislation was extended to include all cephalopods, [ 111 ] in accordance with a general EU directive, which states that "there is scientific evidence of their ...
The octopus also has large blood sinuses around its gut and behind its eyes that function as reserves in times of physiologic stress. [28] The octopus' heart rate does not change significantly with exercise, though temporary cardiac arrest of the systemic heart can be induced by oxygen debt, almost any sudden stimulus, or mantle pressure during ...
The octopuses seen in the videos threw silt, shells, and algae at other nearby octopuses. To do so, they gathered up the debris underneath their bodies using their arms. They then used their ...

Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates. [ 15 ] In the 20th and 21st centuries, there were many scientific investigations of pain in non-human animals.
East Pacific red octopus, rescued from a gull near Los Osos, California. Octopus rubescens (commonly the East Pacific red octopus which is a Cephalopod, and also known as the ruby octopus, a preferred common name due to the abundance of octopus species colloquially known as red octopus [1]) is the most commonly occurring shallow-water octopus on much of the North American West Coast and a ...
To understand the inner details of octopus lives, researchers dived for about a month at a reef off the coast of Eilat, Israel, and tracked 13 octopuses for a total of 120 hours using several cameras.
