the amazing octopus
With three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to change both its shape and colour its little wonder that the octopus has amazed and terrified mankind for centuries.
However it's less well known that they are also among the oceans' most intelligent inhabitants - capable of solving complex puzzles and tests of memory.
At Blue Reef we have even got octopus that can unscrew jam jars to get at the food inside!
Discover all about these 'Einsteins' of the deep' and their close cousins the squid, cuttlefish and nautilus in our Amazing Octopus exhibition.
