The Octopus

 We saw this octopus on display at a college art museum. It seems to be made from some kind of homemade crystals.



Did you know that an octopus's brain is not confined to it's head? It has brains in it's tentacles as well. They are very smart, and can even solve puzzles and screw open jar lids.
