Yeah octopusesese are like that too. But much higher up on the scale of intelligence. They're extremely intelligent, but were evolutionarily cock-blocked by the fact there was no generational learning-- the mother dies before she can teach them anything. So every generation starts all over again. But some scientists are now reporting there seems to be generational learning occurring.
