Tom watches the Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t guy’s videos all the time and actually has learned a lot about botany from him. Content warning: foul language.

If you like botany and swearing, you’ll love this dude.

Octopodes have 9 brains, one for their body and one for each arm. And the central brain is doughnut shaped with their esophagus passing through it. Also, one of a male octopus’s arms is his penis.

Image description for squid with elbows

A photo taken at a downward angle. Below, the deep ocean is littered with plankton, and the shape of a big fin squid fills the frame. The body, as the name implies, has two wide, translucent, fin-like membranes, contorted in motion. From the bottom of the body, 8 rigid tentacles, like segments of an arm, splay outward, reaching a distance roughly similar to the length of the squid’s body. From the end of each arm, a much thinner and far longer length of wispy tentacle lazily drifts into the deep waters below.

At the point where the nature of each tentacle changes from rigid to flowy, a right-angle bend is formed, much like how a person might hold their arms out sideways, while letting their forearms hang limply toward the ground.

Absolutely love those squids. :grin:
