Happy #FishFriday! where I am still going on about our 8 legged marvel, no not spiders. The octopus is not actually a fish. It is a Mollusk; not exactly a brainy branch of nature's family tree.

Factors that create smart animals; learn from family; no born alone live solitary lives. Live long lives; absolutely no. Environmental pressures? no more than anything that lives in a watery buffet. Why so smart?

The snail. The myth. The legend.

Silliness aside, I found a cool #snail while out on a walk today. Actually I'm not sure what snails do with one foot; "walking" seems the wrong word. Ambulating.

Let's say we were both ambulating and leave it there.
