  1. 🦑 NEW: A #fossil found in #Wyoming three decades ago is now identified as a new #belemnite species, "Wyoteuthis linsterorum", a 160-million-year-old relative of #squid and #octopus.

    Its internal shell was unusually wide, suggesting a body nearly 60 cm long, and it belongs to a family thought long extinct. CT scanning of two specimens showed the #animal hunted smaller #cephalopods and possibly its own kind.

  6. Crabs can’t hide from an #octopus with a mirror
    Wild-caught #cephalopods can learn to hunt for crabs using only their prey’s reflection
    Initially, the octopuses approached the mirror, then turned around to find their prey. But after about 10 to 12 trials, each animal learned to crawl directly to the crab without the mirror pit stop.

    "Chambered shells regulated buoyancy through structures such as septa and, crucially, the siphuncle, a tube that could be filled with water or gas and is considered one of the defining innovations separating #cephalopods from other #mollusks."

  15. An evaluation of over 300 scientific studies found «very strong evidence for sentience» in #cephalopods. The authors concluded that welfare-compliant commercial #octopus farming under the planned intensive conditions was fundamentally impossible. Further studies showed that octopuses avoid places where they had experienced pain and prefer places where they had been given painkillers, a clear indication of consciousness and the capacity for memory

  25. Larger brains are frequently found in social species, leading to the supposition that sociality is a driver of brain size. Based on evaluation of cephalopods, a new paper argues that environmental complexity, not social factors, are responsible for brain size in these organisms.
