Very cool. That's where it all starts.. next up, underwater octopus cities.. then its all out war. Man vs Octopus. We will probably lose as they have more arms than we do :cry:

Thanks for sharing, that is really interesting & very cool. I especially liked the Dove commercial.:razz:

Gonna have to use my imagination on the Dove commercial. I've hit refresh a dozen times now trying to see it and haven't hit upon it yet. In fact the last two times the site has given up on me and just gone straight to the video. :lol:

No we will win since we will get the cuttlefish to side with us (create sort of a underwater civil war.) Cuttlefish will win...

sorry to be a bit of a downer, but haven't hermits been doing this for ages? not really a revolutionary behaviour for invertibrates... just a first for an octopus..?

christyf5 12-17-2009 04:12 PM

But hermits just plunk them on their butts as they stand. The octopus is actively carrying it back to whereever it wants to set up house and then has to go look for another one and bring it back to home base as well.

A bit different, I think :biggrin:

Besides, its neato to watch :wink:
