"LONDON, June 1 (Reuters) - Roger Moore the octopus has learned to unscrew a
jam jar in just one minute.
British researchers tested the agility of the much maligned "sea devil" and
found that he soon learned to put his tentacles to  good use prising tasty
crab bait from a jam jar.
"It was an experiment to find out how clever they were, " Brighton
University biologist Tim Fulford said.
"We lowered a jam jar into his tank. We put a crab inside the jam jar. The
first recorded time was 21 minutes. In three days, he got  down to a
minute," he told BBC Radio.
But Roger -- named after one of the actors playing the James Bond screen
hero -- soon forgot his skills. "His short term memory is excellent. But
give him a break for a day or two and he completely forgets," Fulford said."
