Giant Maze Experiment – Octopus VS Big Water Labyrinth

Welcome to the Great Octolabyrinth!

Will Thomas, the curious octopus in today’s video, manage to find the exit to the giant water maze? Or will he be trapped in the labyrinth’s complexity?

A maze challenge has been a frequent request from many of our viewers: so we sat down and designed the biggest water labyrinth ever created!

The intelligence of many animals (e.g. hamsters, rats, cats, dogs etc.) has often been evaluated based on their ability to escape from tricky mazes. The Octolabyrinth was meant to test the level of intelligence of our amazing octopus residents.

Our octopus did his best to solve the puzzle and find the exit but he got lost many times in the confusing pathways of our water maze. However, even Theseus would have been trapped in the labyrinth if it was not for Ariadne’s helpful ball of thread. We therefore decided to offer our octopus a helping hand by adding pictures of animals he would normally avoid at every dead end to guide him through the giant maze.

Thomas always seemed to enjoy swimming around the maze and showed no sign of distress during this great maze challenge.
