The La Huella OVNI: Is the octopus an alien?

La Huella OVNI talks about ideas of octopus-alien.

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf talks about how the octopus looks and how it’s like humans.

Did octopuses come from space to our planet?

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf speaks in La Huella OVNI asking if the octopus is from space.

He looks at the possible link between octopuses and space creatures, using their special body features.

Sucksdorf begins by sharing his interest in this topic and says he will look at different ideas closely.

He talks about how octopuses look and how smart they are, noting that their brains are like those of mammals and birds.

He also says their eyes look like human eyes, with parts like ours.

He also talks about their great hiding skills and how they can escape by shooting out ink. These skills help them live well in the deep sea.

An interesting point is that in the octopus brain, each arm has parts that work like small brains.

This means they can make choices without using their main brain.

This special thing makes us wonder if they think in a new way, and ask if this way of thinking comes from space.

Sucksdorf says that how octopuses changed over time makes us ask questions.

He believes the normal way we think animals change doesn’t explain how special octopuses are and talks about the idea that life came from space.

This idea says life might have come to Earth from space rocks, changing how creatures like octopuses changed over time.

Two ideas about life from space: one says life didn’t start on Earth, and the other says space stuff keeps coming to Earth, changing how life grows.

People question the normal idea of how life changes and think maybe life started when space stuff came to Earth.

Sucksdorf thinks octopuses might have changed because of space stuff. He thinks maybe a long time ago, octopuses changed in a way we can’t explain.

This thought connects to the idea that space rocks might have brought new stuff to Earth, changing how life grew.

Spreading space stuff is compared to how bees help flowers grow.

He thinks octopuses, with their special bodies and big brains, might have changed because of space stuff.

People in schools talk about these ideas, especially after learning more about octopus genes in 2015.

To end, Sucksdorf talks about Mónica Grad’s idea. She thinks Europa, a moon around Jupiter, might have creatures like octopuses because there’s water under its ice top.
