Octopuses taste their food when they touch it with their arms

Octopuses can taste their prey before eating it by using their arms to “lick” it, which researchers say adds to evidence that the cephalopods’ eight appendages are analogous to tongues with “hands” and “brains”.

How Octopuses Use Their Suction Cups to Taste Through Touch
A new study reveals that the invertebrates use a novel kind of receptor embedded in their suckers to explore their ocean habitats.

How octopuses taste their meals by touching them, according to a new study
"A lot of people say an octopus is like an alien," says filmmaker Craig Foster in his new Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher."
"But the strange thing is, as you get closer to them you realize that you're very similar in a lot of ways."

When It Comes to Octopuses, Taste Is for Suckers
Octopuses can taste what their arms touch, and scientists have figured out how.

Touch and taste? It’s all in the suckers
Octopuses have captured the human imagination for centuries, inspiring sagas of sea monsters from Scandinavian kraken legends to TV’s “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” and, most recently, Netflix’s less-threatening “My Octopus Teacher.” With their eight suction-cup covered arms, their very appearance is unique, and their ability to use those appendages to touch and taste while foraging further sets them apart.

Molecular Basis of Chemotactile Sensation in Octopus
• The distributed octopus arm nervous system uses unique chemotactile receptors (CRs)
• CRs detect poorly soluble natural products mediating touch-taste arm behavior
• CRs form ion channel complexes to mediate diverse signal detection and filtering
• Signals transduced by specific sensory cells regulate complex exploratory behavior
