Amazing octopi.

(With thanks to [livejournal.com profile] 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???"
