Octopi are mostly solitary I think.

    Possibly the one thing that is preventing them from creating culture/civilisation with how smart they are. Maybe they'll get their shit together when we're gone. Planet of the apes is too played out.

    I agree with the point you're making. I'd just like to note that the mother doesn't care for her children because she dies taking care of the eggs. The eggs get attached to a ceiling of an underwater cave, and the mother watches the eggs until she dies of starvation. It is theorized that this happens to prevent the mother from eating her children.
