Scientists have observed octopuses deliberately throwing shells, algae, and debris underwater, often aiming at specific targets. 😯🐙
Research suggests these throws are not random, but intentional behaviors used during social tension, competition, or irritation. In some cases, octopuses repeatedly targeted the same individuals, leading researchers to believe the behavior shows awareness and memory of past interactions.
While scientists avoid calling it “holding grudges,” the actions suggest a level of problem-solving and emotional complexity. The findings highlight just how intelligent and socially aware octopuses really are.
