“April 2016, … Inky the octopus's great escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand. The lid of Inky's tank was left ajar at night, and he took advantage of this by climbing out, walking across a room to a drain opening, and squeezing down a 160ft (50m) pipe to the open ocean.”

An octopus in the ocean was observed catching snails, taking them to a grotto, then moving stones to block the entrance so they were captured for later dining like Hansel and Gretel.

“2016年4月，新西兰国家水族馆的章鱼大逃亡。晚上，Inky的水箱盖半开着，他利用这一点爬了出来，穿过一个房间，走到排水口，挤下一条160英尺(50米)长的管道，汇入大海。“

人们观察到海洋中的一只章鱼捕捉蜗牛（的方法）——把它们带到一个洞穴里，然后移动石头堵住洞口，这样它们就被捕获，并可以晚点再享用了。

Snail mommies tell that story to snail babies to stop them from wandering away.

蜗牛妈妈会把这个故事讲给蜗牛宝宝听，防止它们乱跑。

“Running snails,” interesting concept.

“跑动的蜗牛“，有趣的概念

Not only are octopi maritime Einsteins, they are extremely tasty! What’s not to like? Seriously though, octopoid intelligence is simply amazing. Their evolutionary path must have been labyrinthine.

The sea snail tale is riotously funny. What a burglar! Give that critter a prize. “Hansel and Gretel”?!? You really need to do a lot more writing at Quora. This place is so bereft of humor as to be a desiccant.

章鱼不仅是海洋里的爱因斯坦，而且它们非常美味!为什么不喜欢呢?不过说真的，章鱼的智能简直太惊人了，它们的进化之路一定错综复杂。

这个海蜗牛的故事非常有趣。厉害的小偷!给那个小动物一个奖品吧。

I believe they are at least one of the animals we should not be killing. This group includes elephants, whales, dolphins and porpoises. This is a short list, there are more.

我相信它们至少是我们不应该捕杀的动物之一。这类动物包括大象、鲸鱼、海豚和海豚。不一而足，还有更多。

If we are going by intelligence, pigs. They are the smartest domesticated animal.

如果真要算智商的话，还有猪。

它们是最聪明的家养动物。

Monkeys, of any kind.

猴子，任何一种（都算）。

Crows too

乌鸦也算。

Woah. Respect for the octopi. Any who can open their own tanks and chow down on snails deserves a snail buffet. Hasta la Vista, Inky.. Catch ya oceanside!

向章鱼致敬。

任何能自己开水箱吃蜗牛的动物都值得享用蜗牛自助餐。

再见，Inky，畅享海洋吧!

Worst task in Australia? Fingerprint technician in the outback.

Koalas have fingerprints that are almost identical to those of humans, How similar? Take a look at this:

The human fingerprint is on the left. This similarity has caused confusion in some cases, and doubtless will continue to do so, especially when working with partial prints.

在澳大利亚，最糟糕的任务是什么?处理指纹的技术人员。考拉（澳大利亚特有物种）的指纹与人类的指纹几乎完全相同，有多相似?看看这个:

左边是人的指纹，这种相似性在某些情况下造成了混乱，而且毫无疑问将继续造成混乱，特别是在处理部分指纹时。

Jon Bourgetti

Ma'am. print evidence appears that a koala stole your baby.”

“女士，指纹证据显示是一只考拉偷了你的孩子。”

They might seem quite alien to humans: (Fear not, it is a pouch to carry their young.)

But they actually share one very rare quality with humans:

Thumbs.

They are one of the only non-primates to have them.

They have them on their feet though, as they don’t have “hands” per se.

The opposable thumbs are used to help them climb more efficiently. They are fantastic climbers, which is what allows them to climb while carrying babies on their back.

They are the only marsupial in the United States.

They also have the most teeth of any mammal (50).

But they still need to figure out how to deal with cars though. Come to the United States, and the most common roadkill you will see are opossums.

They can only see a few feet in front of them and rely on smell to navigate, hence the car problem.

If you do see a recently killed opossum, and you feel up to it, please check to see if it has young in its pouch, you can often rescue them this way.

负鼠，它们对人类来说可能很陌生:

不用害怕，这是一个装幼崽的育儿袋。但它们实际上和人类有一个非常罕见的共同点:

拇指。它们是唯一拥有这些的非灵长类动物之一，这些都长在它们脚上，因为它们本身没有“手”。对生拇指用来帮助他们更有效地攀爬。它们是很棒的攀登者，这使它们能够背着婴儿攀登。

它们是美国唯一的有袋动物，它们的牙齿也是哺乳动物中最多的(50颗)。

但是他们仍然需要弄清楚如何处理汽车。在美国，你会看到最常见的被车撞死的动物是负鼠。

它们只能看到前方几英尺的地方，靠气味导航。

如果你确实看到一只最近被杀的负鼠，并且你觉得可行的话，请检查一下它的袋里是否有幼崽，你通常可以用这种方式拯救它们。

Sean Kernan

Great point. Forgot to mention that!

很棒的一点，我忘了说了!

Anna Zauhar

I knew this and really think they are neat animals but did not know about the thumbs. Did you know that a clowder of cats will allow an opossum to eat with them? For some reason these very selfish creatures will allow them but no others to share a meal!

我知道这一点，也确实认为它们是整洁的动物，但还不知道拇指这回事。

但你知道一群猫会允许负鼠和它们一起吃饭吗?

出于某种原因，这些非常自私的生物除了负鼠外不会跟其他任何生物分享食物!
