Yeah, I was the same because I thought being a vet was one of the only professions that had to do with animals (kinda, I knew there were other jobs but the default I like animals jobs as a kid is to say you want to be a vet). I thankfully knew being a vet wouldn't be okay for me after I lost my first cat (he basically died in my arms when I was around 4/5 years old, that emotionally messed me up probably for life 😅). Then I really wanted to discover new animals and species and record and document them! Unfortunately that also meant that I couldn't just blow off school watching nature documentaries and hoping that my hyperfixation without knowing anyone with animal careers would fling me into such a niche job, especially where I live 😅 At least some things don't change and here I am as an adult still enjoying animal content just as much as I did as a kid!

One of my favorite tidbits about octopus intelligence is about an octopus who didn't like one particular employee. Can't remember if it was some form of research center or aquarium. Anyway, if she ever got near its tank, it used its "jet" to spray water on her. Every. Single. Time. The employee was transferred for a while. Months. Maybe a full year. One day she decided to visit her old place of work...and got hosed with water for her troubles. This implies that octopus don't just have excellent memories, but are capable of holding grudges. It is indeed a good thing they don't live very long. They'd make us pay for calamari...

To be fair, that is actually kinda cool to know. I have studied animals but that is because I like to know more about virtually everything. A man who took a passion and turned it into a youtube channel and now shares his knowledge with the people. I respect it.

[@creolequeen8642]

He wasn’t a weird kid or a psychopath. He just really likes all aspects of animals. I was like that as a kid too. I especially enjoyed National Geographic when they featured big animals hunting. I loved feeding my cousin’s yellow boa because we fed it live rodents. It would literally hunt it even though it was stuck in the tank with him. I find how animals eat to be intriguing, especially snakes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@gantzllat]

Female Crocodiles are very picky and only mate with the largest and strongest male around. So Gustav not only mated, when he was around he was the ONLY one mating. Fortunately, none of his offspring seems to show his mutation, it may not have been genetic or it may have jumped some generations. If it does jump some generations, this would turn out to be a great example of evolution trough mutation. A random mutation that was helpful for the survival and reproduction of the first one to show it making it show more often during generations.
