One of New Zealand National Aquarium's octopi uses two tentacles to twist the lid off a bottle to get to her dinner. It's a trick she honed with the help of her keepers who noticed she was friendly and would latch on to them when they put their hands in the tank.

She can now open the bottle in 2 1/2 minutes when there's a tempting crab inside. "Octi" isn't on display, but lives in a tank out the back where she spends most of her time hiding in a shell until a keeper comes to play.

Opening bottles isn't the only trick. The octopus has also learned to rise to the top of the tank, eye up the keeper and squirt water in his face.
