1) Almost all octopus behaviors are independently learned rather than instinct-based. They learn almost no behaviors from their parents, with whom young octopuses have very little contact. Unfortunately, their short lifespan limit the amount they can ultimately learn. The oldest octopus in recorded history could read at a second grade level.

3) Octopuses are on the list of experimental animals on which surgery may not be performed without anesthesia. Octopuses express pain by placing two arms in a praying motion.
4) Octopuses have keen eyesight.

6) Octopus arms are made up of a type of muscular hydrostat. They move their arms in the same way we can move our tongues.
7) On any given night, Croptop will reach into the freezer and pull out a bag of octopus chips. They are octopus arms sliced cross-sectionally and dried down to the size of a big potato chip. Most likely, the arms are sliced with a deli slicer and, before dried, the arms require the efforts of two men to carry and manipulate.

i'm curious to know how they reproduce?
good catch. Reproduction is probably not a learned behavior, has to be an instinct-based one.
