Octopus Cities

For quite a few years scientists have looked at cephalopods' hunting tactics and concluded they are a lot smarter than previously thought. When hunting around rocks, for instance, they feint with one tentacle, not really trying to capture the prey but to chase it to a predetermined spot where another tentacle is all set to grab it. The ol' one-two gets 'em every time.

Interesting article.

There have been stories indicating they were fairly intelligent.

I become more impressed with them every time I read about them. I like the fact some of them are, after all, a bit social.

Octopolis sounds better. But I guess they really wanted to get Atlantis in there somehow.

The inchoate feel the cost of an unoctopied pod in the big city sucks.
