Octopus Pin
The Octopus Pin celebrates creatures with nine brains (one central, one in each arm), three hearts, and the ability to squeeze through any opening larger than their hard beak. Octopuses solve puzzles, recognize individual humans, change color and texture in milliseconds, and use tools—all with a nervous system so different from ours they're basically intelligent aliens in our oceans. They can taste what they touch and think with their arms.
Perfect for marine biologists who study cephalopod intelligence, scuba divers who've watched them hunt, aquarium keepers who've been outsmarted by their charges, or anyone amazed by invertebrates smarter than many vertebrates. Octopuses represent evolution's other path to intelligence. Makes a fascinating gift for someone who appreciates the ocean's smartest residents.
Choose from multiple finishes to suit your style. Built with materials sourced from long-established U.S. suppliers and finished by hand in Washington. It's wearable art that celebrates the ocean's most intelligent and adaptable invertebrates.
