You Think Your Anabolic!!!!!!!

Imagine being able to convert 80% of everything you eat into pure mass. Instead of 80% of everything you eat being lost as metabolic waste.

Well you would if your and octopus. The octopus is able to assimilate between 80 to 85% of all the energy it obtains from food to build more bodily tissues. In contrast humans can only convert about 20-25% of everything we eat to mass. The rest is lost as heat or metabolic waste products. To put that into perspective, if you consume 4000 kcals your body is only using 800-1000 of those calories to perform work. Were as the octopus can assimilate about 3200-3400 calories.

To further put that into perspective, the internal combustion engine converts about the same proportion of potential energy from the combustion of gasoline into work.

Another weird piece of octopi physiology is they have 3 hearts. One for each gill slit and one for its systemic circulations.
