I have spent many days entertaining myself by feeding octopus, showing them shiny things, luring them out of the tidal pools and reef shelves I find them in .. I've seen them use bait to lure stupid white fish closer for attack, I've seen them playfully boop snorkellers on the mask and run away, as if to try to initiate a tag, or perhaps take the piss out of the clumsy beings from another realm that seem so incompetent in their eyes.
To me, they are among the most intelligent creatures on the planet, and I yearn for a day when we gain the ability to communicate with them. I think there will come a time that happens - they are just so darn smart.
