Giant Pacific Octopus
Octopuses are ranked as the most intelligent invertebrates.[19] In the third century AD, Roman natural historian Claudius Aelianus wrote "Mischief and craft are plainly seen to be the characteristics of this creature."[20][20] Giant Pacific octopuses are commonly kept on display at aquariums due to their size and interesting physiology, and have demonstrated the ability to recognize humans that they frequently come in contact with. These responses include jetting water, changing body texture, and other behaviors that are consistently demonstrated to specific individuals.[21] They have the ability to solve simple puzzles, open childproof bottles and use "tools".[6] The octopus brain has folded lobes (a distinct characteristic of complexity), visual and tactile memory centers. They have about 300 million neurons.[6] They have been known to open tank valves, disassemble expensive equipment and generally wreak havoc in labs and aquariums.[6] Some researchers even claim that they are capable of motor play[20] and having personalities.[7] Some claim that octopuses are psychic, as Paul was made famous by predicting all seven winning teams in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, although this is not scientifically supported.
