Scientists have found the Giant Pacific Octopus is capable of solving real problems and finishing complex tasks. They have an intellect rivalling that of a dog.
Using principles of psychology, aquarium keepers at Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre are now looking at ways to enrich the time an octopus spends in an aquatic centre with toys and interactive companionship.
As part of a monthly lecture series, join aquarist Daniel Wuitchik at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre today at 7 p.m. to hear about the Giant Pacific Octopus, now known as the world's smartest invertebrate.
The centre is at 9811 Seaport Pl.
