22 Fascinating Photos That Are Fries for Your Friday

Daniel Bonfiglio Published 08/30/2024 in wow

Sporting three hearts, nine brains and no bones, octopuses are the closest thing we have on Earth to aliens. Researchers aren't even sure how smart they are, and octopuses have been known to regularly escape their enclosures thanks to independent thought and memory possessed by each tentacle, and the ability to breathe both in and out of water.

In one photo here, an octopus decides to grab a shark on the sea floor, holding it in place... for fun? I guess if humans can catch and release fish, so can an octopus.

See that photo and plenty more in this collection of fascinating photos that are fries for your Friday.
