The week in cephalopods

First I have to share this short film about the power of love…

The official website also has some sketches and a making of.

And if that wasn’t enough, in real-life octopus news, researchers suggested last week that our eight-legged friends don’t really have eight legs. Coordinated tests at 16 aquariums across Europe found that octopuses favor certain limbs for certain tasks (the back two for propulsion, the front two for handling and examining objects), which the scientists say makes for two legs and six arms. They also found that octopuses can be left or right handed. The research is in its final stages now, but once it’s published I’ll give it a full write up.
