querent commented on Tool-using animals: Now with 100% more invertebrates!
I don't know about this species, but I think some of them live a great deal longer than you suggest. I think this is awesome. Evokes John Lilly for me. If we can learn to communicate with other intelligences here, perhaps we can learn to communicate with truly alien intelligences. The oceans are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....

Maybe I'm confusing squid and octopusses. Or possibly I was thinking of a specific species of octopus. I'll have to go do some research. I hate to spout B$. (though we all do so on occasion) Still found it creepy-looking though. -abs does assert that creepy doesn't necessarily mean "Not tasty"...

I know, I shouldn't reply to myself. Sorry. So I went to wiki octupusses and found that I'm generally correct. They are largely shortlived as lifeforms. Some live as short a life as six months. The larger breeds can live longer however. Wiki cites the North Pacific Giant Octopus as living up to five years. So I must admit that's a bit beyond a couple of years. But it's still thankfully short given how smart those damn things are. -abs does feel a little abashed at replying to himself, but not enough to not do it...

I am surprised that no one has mentioned how smart that coconut must be to have convinced that octopus to carry it around like that......
