What we see as an octopus is only a three dimensional slice of their true form, obviously. They are actually a physical manifestation of the monster group.

#15Arguably, there is no "why".
You could say that they're an evolutionary dead end. But that's just speculation.

#16Perhaps more interestingly than why is how. Smarts are always useful but how do they manage with such diferente and disperse nervouse system.
Their nervous systems are more like spiders than vertebrates.

#17I would like to keep one for a pet but they only live a few years. Been through that with a rat, won't do it again; even kits and pups only last 15 years or so. too soon

If you want an intelligent pet that will likely outlive you, get a parrot.
Don't keep an animal that had to be captured and removed from its natural habitat.

Yes, that is interesting. Their nervous systems are more like spiders than vertebrates.
