As intelligent as…
？
Ask a biologist what the most intelligent creatures are on Earth, and they'll probably
come up with a fairly similar list:larger mammals such as horses,dogs,dolphins, pigs,the
great apes as well as some birds like crows and ravens. But now some scientists believe that
one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in fact the octopus
一
which doesn't belong to
any of these groups.
Every schoolchild knows that octopuses(or octopi)have eight legs and can shoot ink
while trying to escape from enemies. But there are many other unusual things about
1671
octopuses. For example. the legs of some octopuses can grow to over nine metres in length
and are extremely strong. If an octopus loses a leg, it can grow a new one. It also has three
hearts and complex eyes, which seem to belong to a mammal rather than a sea creature.
Octopuses also seem to be experts at escaping
一
they have extremely le bodies and
can escape through holes not much bigger than their eyes. There are many biologists who
have stories about walking into the laboratory after lunch to find their octopus had escaped
from its aquarium and was now hiding in a teapot or climbing a bookshelf!
However,even until quite recently,little was known about octopus intelligence. There
are several reasons for this. Firstly, octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and
seas
一
areas which are not attractive to researchers. Secondly,they are not social animals so
it can be difficult to study their interaction with others. Perhaps most importantly,octopus
intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. When we observe mammals such as rats
or dogs we can often instinctively understand their behaviour. Octopuses,however, can
seem like aliens. Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to be able to understand what an
octopus is thinking!
In the 1950s,the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their
brains. They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers.
However, their brains were so complex that the scientists quickly gave up. And even today
the octopus brain is a mystery. Octopuses have a very complex nervous system and recent
research suggests that they have some of their intelligence inside each arm,which means that
each arm can'think'for itself. It also appears that they have good memories, perhaps
similar to a cat's. Some octopuses it
门
aboratories seem to play with objects as if they were
toys
一
a sure sign of intelligence. Others could pick up complicated skills like opening jars.
Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their colour
and body pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves and also to communicate with
others. They can completely change their appearance in less than a second
一
a striped octopus
can suddenly become spotted. It can change its skin to look like rocks,sand or plankton. A
scientist once observed an octopus that changed its appearance nearly 1,000 times during
seven hours of feeding!It can change its appearance to look like a dangerous predator
一
and
can even copy its style of swimming.
1672
Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colours are in fact
a very sophisticated language
一
and that each design is a different verb,adjective or noun. But
nobody has been able to work out what they might be saying. It seems like the problem isn't
the limitation of the animals…but the limitations of humans!
