Sorry, What: Turns Out Octopuses Have Favourite Arms
Octopus
Octopuses are shape-shifting, triple-hearted, literally blue-blooded ocean creatures that have baffled scientists for decades.
They have a brain in each of their arms (because, by the way, they’re not technically tentacles) – arms which can change colour pretty much at will.
And now, scientists have found out that octopuses seem to have favourite arms for different tasks, too.
A paper published in Scientific Reports found that though all octopus arms seemed equally useful, their owners chose some to do certain jobs over others anyway.
