An interesting fact about octopuses, they have 3 hearts, because two pump blood to the gills and a larger heart circulates blood to the rest of the body. Octopuses have 9 brains because, in addition to the central brain, each of 8 arms has a mini-brain that allows it to act independently Artfully created by skilled glass blowers in the heart of old Cairo, Egypt.
