The octopus is believed to be the most intelligent of all invertebrates. As well as its relatively large brain, each of the octopus' eight arms has its own rudimentary intelligence. This allows the arms to function independently....
Scientists have used satellite tracking and a crime-scene technique to discover an important feeding ground for green turtles in the Mediterranean.
University of Exeter researchers measured "stable isotope ratios" - a chemical signature also...
