Honey never spoils and can remain edible for up to 3,000 years.

Octopuses have three hearts, nine brains, and blue blood

There is a primary central brain responsible for all the analysis and decision-making, accompanied by eight secondary brains situated at the base of each arm. These secondary brains serve as preprocessors for the information collected by the respective arms. About two-thirds of the octopus's neurons are located in its arms. This enables the arms to autonomously learn tasks like opening a shellfish, allowing the central brain to focus on other activities.
