What creatures have eight legs, nine brains, and dozens of fun and fascinating facts about them? Octopuses, of course. (Wait, is octopuses or octopi? Octopodes, perhaps?)
However interesting we think our suction-cupped, cephalopodic friends are, we’re probably selling them short. That’s the contention of Sarah, a comedic content creator on TikTok who’s been sharing everything she’s learned about octopuses, because they’re far more bizarre than we might think.
“However impressed or fascinated you are by octopuses, it’s honestly probably not enough,” she says. “We are severely underreacting to octopuses collectively.”
Once you see her video, it’s clear she’s not wrong.
