MY OCTOPUS TEACHER, Praise for the Octopus

We watched on cable MY OCTOPUS TEACHER. We were very impressed with the intelligence of octopuses or is it “octopi”? They might be even more intelligent than us humans. Or is it “we humans”. The movie is a documentary. It studies on solitary octopus. It seems that that sea creature prefers being alone. They can hunt better that way. You know, survival. But when a suitor comes along and after a little romance she is impregnate with thousands upon thousands of eggs. Only a handful are expected to survive. What impressed me, sometimes the octopus being studied, probably out of boredom would jump in the middle of a school of fish and watch them uniformly “scat” in order. She wasn’t Hungary or anything, just wanted a little fun, like bullying. And she was well aware of the human filming her and would sometimes want to hold hands with him, or be petted. I was hoping the film would tell about an Octopus’s Garden but it didn’t.
