Indonesian Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) not only is awesome but also teaches you some Catalan

First of all, the Indonesian Mimic Octopus is awesome:



Their intelligence is what makes the octopus one of my favourite sea animals. I think it would be great in theory to have a pet octopus, but they need far too much open space for that to happen. There are quite a few stories about octopuses that get bored when living in aquariums and end up playing tricks like spraying water about everywhere and juggling objects around.

Thanks to the person that uploaded this video (along with others), you can also learn some Catalan at the same time. I was very pleased to see that the explanation for the video on the right was written in the following order: English - Catalan - then Spanish. Catalan is probably my favourite Romance language in terms of appearance and grammar (along with Occitan) so the more of it the better IMO.

Here's the video explanation in three languages, contrasted next to each other.

For example, scientists observed that when the octopus was attacked by territorial damselfishes, it mimicked the banded sea snake, a known predator of damselfishes.	Per exemple, els científics observaven que quan el pop era atacat per els territorials damselfishes, imitava a la serp de mar embolcada, un conegut predador dels damselfishes.
