A guy makes friends with an octopus that appears to be about as friendly as a dog.
Now, the octopus is a remarkably intelligent animal. But here’s the interesting thing: The octopus is related to some plenty stupid animals. That guy might not have had as much luck with a clam.
See, for example: Is the octopus a second genesis of intelligence? Can its strange powers provide insights for robotics or the human mind?

Scientists clash over why octopuses are smart. New findings show, the brainy seafood breaks all the rules about why some life forms are smart.
There is a lot of intelligence in nature.
To be fair, humans are also related to some pretty stupid animals too.

Yes, they may be related to someone who uses “also” and “too” in the same sentence. 😛 Or people who use “where” and “at” in the same sentence.
Emphasis is sometimes appropriate.
The reason for the comment is that it is the first comment box I found open. Now to see if comment shuts it down.
In what way does using “also” and “too” together add emphasis?
The words “also” and “too” are essentially the same idea so the use of both is repetition. Repetition is often used for emphasis.
This comment box works.
Repetition is also used by people too stupid to understand that they are repeating the concept. “Where you at?” vs “Where are you?”.
ET, with all fairness, BO’H has long since shown his capability. Kindly turn down voltage on personalities. KF
Yes, Bob O’H has shown he is incapable of logic and reasoning.
