The Florida Aquarium shared video footage of Farallon the octopus creating a painting on a plastic-wrapped canvas as she is assisted by a human keeper.

Biologists at the aquarium have been giving the sea creature tasks to help stimulate her brain each week and has even been given puzzles to solve in the past.

Halley Miller, who works at the aquarium, said: "This was the first time we presented Farallon with this activity, she was very engaged with the canvases; using her arms and suckers to push around the paint.

"Enrichment activities are key to optimal animal welfare as a result the professional care team provides her with a wide variety of activities from puzzles, to painting and more."
