The Insane Biology of: The Octopus

Octopuses possess advanced cognitive abilities, including sophisticated problem-solving skills and the use of tools. Their boneless bodies and unique nervous systems, where most neurons are in their arms, allow for exceptional dexterity and the ability to manipulate their environment. htey are highly adaptable and can survive in a wide range of environments, which would be crucial in a post-human world. They can communicate through rapid changes in color and texture.

Octopuses could theoretically develop underwater settlements over millions of years, especially since they have access to vast resources in the ocean.
