Knowledge about octopuses can also be changed by the octopus cities discovered in eastern Australia, where many animals live in one place, in different structures.

It has been proven that octopuses are intelligent animals many times: recently, it was also revealed during an experiment that their brain waves are similar to human ones.

However, octopuses, which also protect themselves from the cold in a unique way, have now managed to surprise researchers again, because, according to observations, they are building entire octopus cities on the coast of eastern Australia.

In addition, all this changes our knowledge about octopuses, because experts initially thought that they were solitary creatures – however, all this was refuted by the city, since it is a kind of gathering of octopuses.

But what is Octopus City made of? the The behavior and physiology of seas and fresh water According to a study published in the journal, outcrops of stones on the sea floor and piles of shells were used to build the small town.

According to the researchers, several factors contributed to the establishment of octopus cities in the two locations, one of which could be the height of the sea floor, as well as other beneficial features.

For example, at one of the sites on the east coast of Australia discovered in 2009, they were able to link 16 different individuals to the site, which scientists have just named the Octopolis. A few hundred meters away from this site was the other site, which was actually called Octlantis, and here they found 13 polypodiums where octopuses lived, while ten others had no inhabitants.

This finding also highlights the following: BGR How little we know about these animals. A few years ago, scientists also paid attention to a huge octopus nursery, where almost a thousand females took care of their eggs.
