Favorite octopus tentacles?

Marine biologists are investigating octopuses to determine whether they have a preference for left or right tentacles.

Scientists have experimented for 25 Rubic rotating octopus.

They concede that they do not expect soft-bodied 8-seafowl species to solve that complex plastic logic block. Instead, the project lasts for months at 23 Vertical Marine Life Centers in the UK and Europe to examine the octopus's intelligence, to find out if they have a favorite tentacle to pick up objects. - like a left-handed or a right-handed person.

Octopuses with surname and snails, but scientists believe they are much smarter than their relatives . They will provide food and toys to 25 octopuses of all kinds, and record what they use.

"Little octopus is the only species with more than half of the nerves in the limbs ," explains Claire Little, a marine researcher at Weymouth Marine Center . They think part by part of their limbs . '

'Many animals often favor a certain genus, we will wait and see if the octopus can be added to that list . '

If the experiment shows that the octopus is biased, then it is possible to clarify the brain structure of the octopus. In addition, octopuses are very stressful, so finding out if they have a priority feeding side can improve their health when kept in captivity.

If the combined octopus uses multiple limbs, less than or equal to 3 genera, it will be recorded in series. A ball, a jam jar, and a Lego puzzle block will be dropped into the water for inspection. Giant Pacific octopus, common octopus and smaller octopus are all present in the study.

Previous research has shown that they are incredibly capable of learning and memory. In 2003, an octopus at the German zoo learned how to open a vial of shrimp. The 5-month-old animal opened the bottle by pressing its body onto the lid and embracing it with its 8 tentacles.

The results of the latest study will be analyzed and published by biologists at the Marine Life Center in the fall. Little added: 'We hope it will help solve the mystical tendency of the animal kingdom' .
