🐙 Did you know an octopus's brain is shaped like a donut? 🍩 Their esophagus runs right through the hole in the middle 😰 which means every bite of food literally passes through their brain!! How has this NOT killed them yet? 🫪 Thread 🧵 (with sources at the end 😎) #Octopus #Cephalopods 🐡🦑

WOW, new finds from the Ice Age! Two absolutely stunning Ice Age figurines from the Swabian Jura were found, dating back around 40,000 years. The tiny carvings, about the size of a thumbnail, depict two birds, rendered with remarkable attention to detail. Snow grouse, buzzard, or...🧵1/2

The leading theory for why animals evolve big brains is social: Bigger brains manage bigger, complex groups 👫👬 👊🐙 Octopuses break that rule: mostly solitary, no parenting, and still the smartest invertebrates alive. 🧠 So why the big brain? Taking a look at a new study. 🐙 Thread 🧵(with sources)

Napkin Math about 🐙 A Giant Pacific octopus has ±1600 suckers. Each one can lift 30 lbs (about 13.6 kg) 💪 Their arms can pull over 100x their own body weight: A 40 lbs (18 kg) octopus could theoretically drag a car 🚗 🫪 A weekend sized thread 🐙🧵
