It makes no sense that this animal is so smart and has so many skills like camouflage and a million other crazy things, but lives such a short life. From an evolutionary standpoint point why develop so many traits when you live such a short life?

Because they never have to sit through a microsoft teams meeting.

Like maybe time moves differently for them and where they're from

They are alien creatures and not evolved from anything found on earth

I stopped eating octopus after watching My Octopus Teacher and reading about them. Crazy fricking smart and have high IQ emotions.

They’re technically arms.
A talking octopus corrected me once.

I mean it's not like they are human level smart. Probably like that of a dog or so, they don't live long because of their reproductive strategy.
So in short, octo-pussy is undefeated.

I had the same thought initially but then when I realized they only lived for like a year I didn’t feel so bad about it.
