The blue-ringed octopus is a venomous sea creature. It produces Tetrodotoxin, which is a toxin capable of paralyzing and killing a human being. One bite is potent enough to kill 26 full-grown human beings. Rogan was even more surprised to know that no antidote was available for the toxin. He also talked about the octopus’s intelligence, and the guests clarified that it has the brain capacity of a 5-year-old human.

Rogan shared an interesting story about an Octopus in the recent podcast episode with Kim Congdon and Sara Weinshenk. This is what he said.

They had this tank that was set up next to another tank. So, one tank had an octopus in it, and the other tank across the room had fish in it. Fish started going missing,..........They found out what was going on: the octopus was climbing out of his tank, walking across the floor, climbing up into the other tank, snatching a fish, eating it, and then going back into his tank.

Interestingly, an octopus is a sentient being. Therefore it has the intelligence of a 5-year-old human being. Moreover, Rogan thinks that the mythical creature ‘Krakken‘ might be a giant octopus. Rogan has extensive knowledge regarding predatory animals from his talks with guests well-versed in the domain.
