Octopus Angles

People have this odd urge to bring order into everything. When I was in college studying biology, I had an extensive introduction to the field of taxonomy - the categorization of life on Earth. Taxonomists officially put octopus into the same phylum as clams, snails, and slugs - mollusca. In doing so scientists decided to classify octopus as well developed, intelligent slugs. After spending significant time with a curious specimen last weekend, I started to get the feeling that all these classifications are a moot point. Intelligent life is the same regardless of phylum. This individual was almost human in its curiosity. I think the emotion in these photos speaks for itself.




I like how you point out that octopuses get lumped in with clams and snails, yet their curiosity feels almost human. It reminds me of fiddling with Canva AI to get an image right, where the result never fits the neat label you expected.
