The Octopus In My House
A professor develops an extraordinary relationship with an octopus when he invites it to live in his home. The octopus, called Heidi, unravels puzzles, recognises individual humans and even watches TV with the family. The episode also shows remarkable behaviour from around the world – from the day octopus, which can change colour and texture in a split second, to the coconut octopus, which carries around its own coconut shell to hide in. But most fascinating of all is seeing how Professor David Scheel and his daughter Laurel bond with an animal that has nine brains, three hearts and blue blood running through its veins.

If you like watching this octopus, then you’ll enjoy Netflix’s Remarkedly Bright Creatures. Lovely movie. And, I’m hope these videos and this movie helps us all to know that octopus are intelligent and not food.
This is so nice to watch. I watched it often. Octopus is an amazing animal.
Why would you imprison an extraordinarily intelligent creature like that?
If you really cared and loved the octopus, he wouldn’t be in a tank for your own personal amusement and selfish reasons. Humans are the worst.
Extraordinary, thanks , amazing too
That water is looking cleaner than drinkable filtered water I mistook the fish actually floating in the air for a sec
Fascinating. Another of God’s wondrous creations.
