It’s back-to-school season this August and learning never stops at Butterfly Pavilion! Get into the school spirit and meet our California Two-Spot Octopus, one of the most intelligent animals in our care. Did you know octopuses have nine brains? In addition to a central brain, each of their eight arms has its own mini-brain, allowing them to act independently. About two-thirds of their neurons are located in their arms, which helps them solve puzzles, untie knots, and navigate mazes!
Working with such a smart animal, means finding smart ways to care for it! To keep our octopus mentally stimulated and engaged, we provide her with enrichment activities like puzzles, feeders, and a variety of toys and objects to explore and problem-solve.
Learning doesn’t stop with the classroom, discover more at Butterfly Pavilion this back-to-school season and see our octopus in action. Visit butterflies.org to plan your visit.
