One animal that we think is insanely underrated is the octopus. Like- yes, cats are cute, and dogs are angels, and parrots bring us so much joy that it almost hurts, but octopuses are simply amazing.
Let us prove it to you. Did you know that a study found that sometimes, octopuses punch fish for no reason other than spite? Because they do, and the videos are hilarious.
Did you know that some octopuses get shy and hide in their own tentacles? Yup, and the video is awwdorable. And did you know that octopuses can dream?
We didn’t either, but once we found out, we only started loving them more.
And apparently, sometimes, octopuses will ask divers for help moving a piece of wood underwater and then become best friends with them.
And if that’s not one of the most amazing things that you have ever heard about a wild animal we don’t know what is.
