The Cephalopods can Hear You
*BBC feature on the research of Dr. Hong Young Yan, Research Fellow of Institute of Cellular and Organismic Biology.
Octopus and squid can hear.
The discovery resolves a century-long debate over whether cephalopods, the group of sea creatures that includes octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses, can hear sounds underwater.
Compared to fish, octopus and squid do not appear to hear particularly well.
But the fact they can hear raises the possibility that these intelligent animals may use sound to catch prey, communicate with one another or listen out for predators.
