Holy Crap, This Octopus is Taking Pictures of Its Visitors

Octopuses are known to bevery intelligent creatures , but one octopus in New Zealand is outclass all of her compeer by taking pic of her marine museum visitant . World , play Rambo , the very first trained devilfish photographer , or octographer , as we now say .

Rambo ’s newfound skills are the answer of a partnership between Sony and the Sea Life Aquarium in Auckland . A Sony TX30 compact camera is attached to the exterior of her tank , and Rambo was trained to conjure the television camera ’s red shutter button when visitors stand in front of a special backdrop . Um , awesome .

The theory this lift are mind boggling . Octographers that help shipboard soldier researchers by snap undersea photos for us ? Octopuses civilise to conduct covert nautical surveillance ? peradventure I ’m getting a mo carried away here , but … who knows ! Between their killer camouflage , intelligence agency , and newly establish picture taking power , cephalopod are shaping up to be all-fired undecomposed spy . [ PetaPixel ]
