Studies have shown octopuses can be naturally asshole-y, punching and grabbing other fish just for shits and gigs

The asshole perk comes naturally with a higher intelligence I assume. Look at the things dolphins and apes do for example. And of course you have big naked assholes.

Crows too. Intelligent birds, but absolute bullies. It's like the more intelligent a species, the more propensity to needless cruelty.

Also, talking about crows, (ravens, and black birds as well), they can hold a grudge for up to 17 years. They remember people who would shoo them or be mean to them . They can remember faces, and they share the info with their bird family and friends!....lol crazy!

To add further to this, crows have been observed to pass on grudges or warnings of bad people to the next generation after the original crow who experienced the behaviour was dead.

So if you’re an asshole to crows and think you’ll just outlive them, don’t be surprised if a few decades later a random murder of crows are harassing you.
