I don't exactly call it a power, but u can say if u ant.

isince octopus have 8brains, its possible that they can process the probabiltiy among 2

It is said that animals have the sixth sense. But we can't prove which side of the argument is right until further matches.

The octopus is an amazing creature that is so mysteriously intelligent .

They have in fact proved that octopus do think.

There is much footage of octopus that have solved a minor task such as removing lids off screwtop jars in order to retrieve the crab within.

There was also a case of where an aquarium owner , for some months suspected schoolkids were stealing his fish from his shop. Puzzled as to how they would do this he installed cameras in his shop. It showed he was wrong.

However ,he was not expecting what he saw in the afterhour footage.

You see he also had an octopus in his shop.

At night when the shop would be closed this octopus would climb out of his tank and go .... fishing.

So what you say.

Why would this octopus do this over such a period of time , each time waiting for the store to be empty , and EACH time returning to HIS tank in the aquarium.

That is one octopus that has mastered HIS plan.

So as far as your question goes , i say , Why not ?

Octopus are very intelligent. This is not the first and the last instance of octopus predicting things that came true. Paul is all powers.

Before footie fever gripped the world, a brush with an octopus would be the exotic gourmet kinds, forking Htapothi Makaronatha or Htapothi Stifatho or any of the Greek delicacies prepared with octopus. Now, it’s the Octopus Paul – the oracle, the soothsayer, the official footie star who found fame without stepping anywhere near a football field. Everyone’s gaga over the resident of the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. So far he has managed to correctly predict the winner of every game at the tournament featuring his adopted country’s team (he’s British born but reared in Germany).

Not just Paul, many pet owners can detect a sixth sense in their pets.

Do you have a psychic pet?

How does Paul see the future? By the way, he’s named Paul after a poem by German author Boy Lornse titled Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopus. His keeper Oliver Walenciak believes it might have something to do with the fact that “all octopus have nine brains so we know he has exceptional powers.”

So, its not just Paul, but many psychic octopuses could be gliding around in the deep blue. Says Carl Zimmer in Slate: Octopuses can learn, they can process complex information in their heads, and they can behave in equally complex ways. But it would be a mistake to try to give octopuses an IQ score. They are not intelligent in the way we are—not because they’re dumb but because their behavior is the product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution under radically different conditions than the ones under which our own brains evolved.” The article gives a fascinating insight into the 1950 discovery of the massive brains of octopuses.

Researchers say octopuses are known to be highly intelligent and curious. This archived article from Discover explores the brainpower of an octopus.

Divers are amazed by the elaborate trails octopus follow along the seafloor. They say octopus are innately curious and take great care to examine divers, tugging at their masks and air regulators. Researchers and aquarium attendants tell tales of octopuses that have tormented and outwitted them. “Some captive octopuses lie in ambush and spit in their keepers’ faces. Others dismantle pumps and block drains, causing costly floods, or flex their arms in order to pop locked lids. Some have been caught sneaking from their tanks at night into other exhibits, gobbling up fish, then sneaking back to their tanks, damp trails along walls and floors giving them away.”

So, is Paul just another intelligent octopus with a distinct personality? What about his footie fever? Why this affinity for football? I don’t know. But I am really curious to know if he would be just as accurate at other forecasts – like elections. Paul the pollster has quite a ring to it. Perhaps.

Singapore’s Mani; the 13-year-old parakeet too has been correct in his predictions for all the quarter-final ties and the Spain-Germany semi-final.
