Did you know that the makers of cameras studied octopus eyes to improve their lenses? True story.
The octopus is fascinating. I listened to a podcast a few weeks ago about them and spent the majority of that evening telling my husband stories. If you want to listen to the podcast, search for it on iTunes under "How Stuff Works - Stuff You Should Know" or read the article that it was based on called "How Octopuses Work."
You'll learn about how strong an octopus's arm is, how its nervous system works, how they live, and even some crazier tidbits. For example: the brown octopus can change to resemble a sole fish, lionfish or sea snake. Why? Depends on the predator coming at it. A damselfish's enemy is the sea snake.
