i bet Octo was thinking "OMG! How the hell did he know i was there...? Waterhacker!".

Fascinating stuff.

honestly, if octopi being excellent at camo surprises you, you should watch more discovery channel. some can also induce a rapid fluctuation in their pigmentation to look like a rainbow strobe light, works well for mesmerizing a fish then eating it.

fist off, i like to call them, octopussies.... alllllriiiight... giggidy giggidy giggidy.....

and those are squid you are talking about, i saw that on discovery, the discovery channel is like my most watched channel... its great sooo entertaining and yet you can learn so much.

but they also show scrap heap challenge which is too cool.

Discovery HD Theater is where it's at. A friend of mine will tune in just to watch fish swim around. A "fishtank doubleplus good" in his eyes. Can't say that I disagree.

Heh, that camo wouldn't help him in Joint Ops-COOP!

This photo isn't as dramatic, but it shows some of the color variation. They do change that quickly, it's pretty amazing. I took the photo in Cozumel about a year and a half ago.

First, I want to remind you of this thread for more octo-goodness: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/sandbox...s-octopus.html

Then, I wanted to share a video of an octopus squeezing through an incredibly small (in comparison to his body) hole!

And now, I present to you, the OctoSquid!

It's a squid, it's an octopus, it's ... a mystery from the deep.

What appears to be a half-squid, half-octopus specimen found off Keahole Point on the Big Island remains unidentified today and could possibly be a new species, said local biologists.
