Have you ever looked at an octopus and wondered, “What is going on in their head?” Well, first of all, that bag-like sac sitting above its eyes isn’t its head. That sac is called the mantle and it’s full of all the animal’s vital organs (three hearts, gills, digestive tract, gut, reproductive organs, etc). If you’re wondering where the brain is, it’s located just between the eyes, wrapped around the esophagus like a donut. So every time a cephalopod swallows food, it stretches out its brain a tiny bit—you could say they always have food on their mind!
So, to arrange yourself like a cephalopod, you’d basically need to take your torso, stack it atop your head, then arrange your limbs around your mouth—TA DA! You’re kinda an octopus! (Things you definitely needed to know today).
