The Miraculous Octopus
This week join Roger Billings and the Science Live crew in an exploration of one of nature’s most remarkable creatures: the octopus!
We’ll learn about the octopus’s remarkable camouflage abilities and the science that allows them to change color and texture in as little as 200 milliseconds. Did you know they have no backbone and not one, but three hearts! Discover more fascinating facts and fun stories about these remarkably intelligent creatures.
This episode also includes updates on Acellus World – a new cyber school program, and don’t miss the hilarious segment where R51 attempts — with mixed results — to train an octopus named Octagon.

I love octopi they are one of my favorite animals behind the shark and the dolphin. You guys should totally do one on sharks that would be so epic. Especially the basking shark they are so cool and fascinating. I did a science fair project on hammerhead sharks and i got first place. 🎉🎈🎊👑🎣🥇🏆It was so fun, they had a lot of other activities to like elephant toothpaste, oobleck, and much more.
