r/octopus

I have been trying to imagine life as different animals for some time, the octopus is probably one of the hardest to try it with, there are so many ways that they are alien to us that ill never get halfway there, but its fun trying anyway.

I was wondering if they adjust their vision in ways that skulled creatures cant, I would guess that they only do it a little bit, as the change in perspective would probably help in certain situations, Im thinking during hunting on reefs.

I would guess that eye tracking technologies arent often deployed on octopus, but there have been huge leaps in the camera technology recently, so im wondering if there is any research or stories about that particular part of their perspective

That said, any other points about their perception are very interestng to me for this strange meditation practice, novel ideas really do me good so any weird ideas are welcome
