Are you looking specifically for a documentary? There’s lots of info out there, but I don’t recall anything more than a passing reference in video form (complete with sensationalism and hyperbole).

I don’t see many documentaries, but this is some good info.

I remember one on National Geographic that showed experiments with them.
I think they are fascinating!:)

@syz what do you mean? Are you thinking of something to read? I am looking for something that would allow me to do something else while I watch and listen.
@crisw Thank you, but like I answered @syz I want to watch it.
@lucillelucillelucille apparently they are from what I hear!

Look at this:

Although you probably saw that, I’m sure. How did it know about bottle caps?

There is incredible suckers, the octopuses garden, and the ultimate octupus guide. I just got these off a site.

@mcsnazzy Thanks “Incredible Suckers” I click on it and it gives me the page where nothing happpens. The Octopus Garden I’m finding the name of a kids website, or Beatles song. I will keep searching. The Ultimate Octopus Guide is a few minutes long. I’m looking for a whole hour.
@ariah Thanks I am searching for it.
