  1. 🐙 NEW: Researchers first filmed #Octopus insularis cycling between long quiet #sleep and short active bursts with #color and #texture changes every 30 to 40 minutes.

    A later #study on Octopus laqueus used #brain probes and found that those active bursts lasted about a minute and came with wake-like neural activity, especially in #learning and #memory regions.

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐙🚫 #Spain’s largest fisheries company shelved the world’s first industrial #octopus farm after years of controversy.

    Marine biologists explain that octopus #larvae are fragile, feed costs exceed market value, and the #animals refuse sameness. Scientists and activists weigh the practical failures of #farming against the ethical question of whether this intelligent, solitary wild creature should be imprisoned in the #sea at all.

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦑🌊 About 15 years ago, Japanese researchers on a #research vessel photographed a shoal of roughly 100 neon flying #squid gliding in formation above the #Pacific #Ocean, about 600 km from #Tokyo.

    The species uses a funnel-like organ called the hyponome to jet #water, propelling itself through both #air and #sea. Scientists remain unsure why the squid fly in unison, suggesting they may be evading a #predator like a #shark.

  16. It's been a while since I posted something for #FossilFriday !

    This time I present Ordosoceras sphaeriforme from the #Ordovician of China, an actinoceratid #cephalopod with one of the strangest siphuncles I know. Compare this to modern #Nautilus !

  21. Flamboyant Cuttlefish Embryos Developing Inside the Egg — Anilao

    The flamboyant cuttlefish, Metasepia pfefferi, is a notable cephalopod in the Indo-Pacific, particularly cherished by divers in Anilao, Philippines. Its translucent eggs reveal developing embryos exhibiting early color-changing abilities. After 35–40 days, hatchlings emerge fully independent, embodying adult traits. This species uniquely "walks" on the seafloor, primarily hunting in shallow waters.
