(With thanks to cnoocy for the link.)

This is so cool. Two species of octopi have been seen to sneak away on two tentacles while using the others to disguise themselves as a coconut or algae. (It took me some jiggering to get the video clips to play, but they're so worth it!)

I couldn't see the link, alas.

Octopods are fascinating. They're very intelligent.

Hee. "Do-de-do, just a walking coconut, nothing to see here, don't mind me..."

And you know all the fish swimming by are going "Oh, how nice, a walking cocon-- [double take] -- WHA???"
