Scientific research increasingly reveals that animal intelligence extends far beyond basic instincts. These extraordinary ...

The international team of scientists used a new technique to scan rocks, finding more than 1,000 beaks of ancient cephalopods ...

Inspired by squid skin, scientists developed smart materials that shift color and infrared light - opening new paths for ...

Using an advanced fossil discovery technique on Late Cretaceous rocks from Japan, researchers found elusive and ancient squid beak fossils proving that squids thrived while dinosaurs died.

An eye-opening experiment on cephalopods reinforces why it is so important for us to not underestimate animal intelligence. A study published in 2021 presented cuttlefish with a new version of the ...

Back in 2021, a test of cephalopod smarts reinforced how important it is for us humans to not underestimate animal intelligence. Cuttlefish were given a new version of the marshmallow test, and the ...

A child is placed in a room with a marshmallow. They are told if they can manage not to eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes, they'll get a second marshmallow, and be allowed to eat both. This ...

Some cephalopods may be capable of more complicated forms of learning, such as reversal learning , which is learning to flexibly adjust behavior when different stimuli signal reward.

Like many cephalopods, the common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is thought to be colorblind. But it can use its excellent vision to produce a dizzying array of patterns across its body as camouflage.

Cephalopods like octopus, squid, and cuttlefish seem to be as alien as any alien creature from a sci-fi movie, and it's fun to speculate that they could be aliens from another planet.
