Understanding Octopus Intelligence

The video explores the intelligence of octopuses, focusing on their problem-solving abilities. Antonio Creo, a biologist at the Finisterre Aquarium, conducts experiments to test octopus intelligence, revealing their ability to solve complex problems using cognitive reasoning. The video also highlights octopus behavior in the wild, showcasing their adaptability and intelligence in natural settings. Through various tests, it is demonstrated that octopus intelligence is not limited to individual specimens but is inherent to the species.

What is the main focus of Antonio Creo's research at the Finister Aquarium?

• The intelligence and behavior of octopuses

• The dietary habits of octopuses

• The breeding patterns of octopuses

• The migration routes of octopuses

How do octopuses demonstrate their problem-solving abilities in the aquarium tests?

• By communicating with other octopuses

• By mimicking human behavior

• By opening screw-top jars to access food

• By using tools to build shelters

What unusual behavior did the fisherman observe in octopuses regarding traps?

• They destroyed the traps

• They avoided traps completely

• They used traps to catch other fish

• They entered traps, took bait, and left

In the advanced experiments, how did the octopus solve the problem of accessing crabs in a flask?

• By making itself small enough to enter

• By breaking the flask

• By waiting for the crabs to come out

• By using another animal to help

What conclusion did Antonio Creo and his team reach about octopus intelligence?

• It is a learned behavior from humans

• It is only present in captive octopuses

• It is a species-wide trait

• It is unique to each individual octopus
