"Cheeky" octopus, bored out of his gourd, decides to entertain himself at the expense of staff, tankmates:
An octopus in an aquarium in Germany has been creating havoc by short-circuiting its aquarium lights, juggling its fellow inhabitants and throwing rocks at the glass.I want one!
Otto, who measures 75cm/30” inches long, and is noted for getting bored when the aquarium is shut for winter, has also been observed juggling the hermit crabs that cohabit his tank, throwing rocks at the glass and giving his tank a ‘Changing Rooms’ style refit by rearranging it completely.

I have two. Our local ones only live for 13 months, but here's "violet" from a while back opening a jar.

OMFG! Let them go. They are too intelligent to be stuck in a stupid fucking tank. Put some republicans in it. Dumbassses would probably just sit there.
Mark H has the coolest videos of octopuses -- I love your site, M!
Wonder how one would do with a Rubik's Cube?
