Cephalopods in the Aquarium

Cephalopods are active creatures and they need an active environment. They watch them do the kind of thing that we would do if we were to say bounce a ball off a wall like Steve McQueen in a great escape. The octopus was able to correctly predict the winner of each of Germany's national football team seven matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well as the outcome of the final. He wasn't actually making predictions but there was also within the accusations that there was some bias involved on the part of the people caring for the octopus.
