Robert Cianflone/Getty ImagesA Swedish man and musician is going viral on social media after teaching his pet octopus how to play the piano. It took 6 months but I'd say it's worth it.
How cool is that? There are many ways you could waste 6 months with a new hobby but there are some ways that it can be well spent--and one example of that would be teaching an octopus how to play the piano. It would be pretty difficult, I imagine. However, they are supposed to be incredibly smart and I think this video proves that to be true. Check out the viral video shared on YouTube below.
Swedish Man Teaches Octopus How To Play The Piano
Said Swedish man is Mattias Krantz who's a YouTuber whose content usually revolves around musical instruments that he modifies himself and plays, per UPI. Now, he's going viral for teaching an octopus named Takoyaki to play piano.
Krantz tells UPI that it took time to earn Tako's trust but seems like it was time well spent. He says he started with one or two notes at a time using bubbles to interest him in the instrument--smart! A break through finally came when he installed a crab elevator in the tank, per UPI. Everyone likes a reward.
