[100] Maze and problem-solving experiments have shown evidence of a memory system that can store both short- and long-term memory. [101] Young octopuses learn nothing from their parents, as adults provide no parental care beyond tending to their eggs until the young octopuses hatch. [71] :75 RICE method: You may be able to treat minor muscle strains and tears with rest. Ask your provider about the RICE method (rest, ice, compression and elevation). Apply ice or a cold compress within intervals of 20 minutes. Always protect your skin to avoid skin burns.

Millipedes and centipedes have similarities but their bodies are designed differently. Both are made up of segments but centipedes have two legs per segment, while millipedes have four. Millipedes also don’t use their legs for hunting but can curl into a tight ball since their legs are smaller. Millipede’s legs are located under their body, while centipede legs will protrude outward on their side. Millipedes also have far more legs than a centipede. The Illacme plenipes is a species of millipede that has the most legs of any Myriapod and is capable of having up to 750 legs.

Studying the legs of a butterfly can be a challenging task. These insects always seem to be on the move! A butterfly’s legs and wings are very delicate. So, it’s best to avoid trying to capture and hold this insect. But there are some ways to study them without risking their safety. Young, R. E.; Vecchione, M.; Mangold, K. M. (1999).

Octopuses appear in mythology as sea monsters like the Kraken of Norway and the Akkorokamui of the Ainu, and probably the Gorgon of ancient Greece. A battle with an octopus appears in Victor Hugo's book Toilers of the Sea, inspiring other works such as Ian Fleming's Octopussy. Octopuses appear in Japanese erotic art, shunga. They are eaten and considered a delicacy by humans in many parts of the world, especially the Mediterranean and the Asian seas.High, William L. (1976). "The giant Pacific octopus" (PDF).
