The other day I saw a youtube clip with some young kids playing with a bluering... at the end of the clip the bluering latched onto the kids arm... not sure what happens next.

EDIT: now that I look at it, it might not be a blue ring. it's kind of big.

It's insane!
Ok not to seem like a noob trying to be a know it all cause im not. I just have done a lot of Research on Octopus and In case people didn't know they are as smart if not far smarter than a Dog, can be tamed well and even trained to do tricks. It is very possible that the photo is one such Octopus, i will admit i know little about that type, i have just researched common Dwarfs.

#1: octos are very smart. but to a point. And they arent predictable or tameable like dogs. You can't put a muzzle on one and you can't train it not to bite.

#2: That didn't look like a bluering in the video, but it was hard to tell.
#3: this thread is ooooooold. Why hasn't it died yet?
