That was cool, but Octopuses, and even cephalopods in general, can do much more than that.
If you put a spiny lobster (one of their favorite foods) inside a glass bowl with a cork holding it tightly shut, the octopus will figure out how to open it (using some arms to hold the bowl and others to pry off the cork) and will soon have its meal.
They are probably the most intelligent invertebrates on the planet.
