    Scientist are very inturested in this because the octopus is thinking ahead and making a shelter to protect him self if a preadetor comes in the future. Thanks for the cool vid

    matt posted this a little while back... but its interesting because so far, humans are the only animals that have a highly developed cortex. We have a prefrontal cortex which is where our higher thought and reasoning occur. They think that octopus have been developing more in this area, making them just below us as far as neurological development :)
