This 4th episode of the Octopus Escapes series was inspired by a comment from one of our beloved viewers. We always pay close attention to your remarks and we aspire to giving all of your requests a shot. Here is what Leanne commented: “Can Zipper be able to open one of the plastic storage drawers from the inside? Let’s give it a shot to see how he can open the drawer and get out.” This was a very intriguing experiment, as the octopus must exhibit a high degree of dexterity, intelligence, as well as coordination of its arms in order to achieve its escape. To push the drawer, the octopus has to figure out that it needs a steady surface where it can lean against to exert its strength. It took only a few minutes for our octopus to understand that it can use some of its arms to steady itself on the top of the drawer and the rest to push the drawer open. We were able to find completely transparent plastic storage drawers that enabled us to better observe the deft use of suckers and arms and to admire once again the wondrous escape capabilities of this amazing cephalopod, the octopus.
