Don't anthropomorphize the octupii, they hate that.
But, all seriousnes aside, I clearly remember seeing a film a
long time ago where an octupus would crawl out of its tank and
unscrew a mason jar with a food-critter in it. I suspect that
they are very intelligent. But not intelligent enough to avoid
getting caught.

You only think that because you don't know about the ones that haven't
been caught.

I'm reminded of the story about the study conducted on prisoners that
determined that criminals are generally of low intelligence.
