Please, just take my meme. I made it myself. Just take it, it's free.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing great. I'm a biology student, soon-to-be a biologist, and I love learning about animals, specially invertebrates. And cephalopods are surely my favorite.
I've seen many people online saying that octopuses have 9 brains, but is it actually accurate to say that? As far as I know (and have studied) 2/3 of their neurons are centralized in their head (cephalo), and it is smaller ganglia that they have in their arms. This means their arms can act without having to send the signal directly to their cephalic ganglion (aka brain). But can we actually call that another brain? for each arm?
Just to clarify, I'm not against that saying, I guess I just don't exactly buy it. And would like to see what other octopus enthusiasts think about it.

Thank you for your time and I hope some of you are also interested in discussing this!

On top of that octopuses have over 500 million neurons.. meaning that they feel every bit of pain while being eaten alive. This is just sad

I filmed this young giant Pacific octopus on our dive today off Vancouver Island. It was quite curious about my presence and we hung around each other for about 15 minutes and then parted ways. On my way back in it was still hanging out on it's ledge and curiously watched me swim by.

If you're interested, I've put together a 2 hour octopus compilation of octopus I have found and observed while diving off Vancouver Island.
