[00:00:00]Octopuses [music] taste with their arms.

[00:00:02]Every single sucker is a tongue dragging across the ocean floor, reading the world like Braille made of salt and shell. They also have three hearts, blue blood, and can rewrite their own genetic code on the fly.

[00:00:16]Their RNA editing rate is 50 times higher than ours.

[00:00:20]>> [music] >> We have been looking for aliens in space while they have been sitting in tide pools. [music] Look up Elon et al. Cell, 2015.
