I got this on March 24th, but I don't know who from. (If you posted it that day, tell me and I'll give credit.)

Edit: marith spoke up. I got it from her. :)

From the New Scientist magazine:

Camouflaged octopuses 'walk' on two tentacles

Might've been me, only because I was grabbing people and saying "OCTOPI!" that whole day. :)

Cool, thanks for mentioning!

Hee! I never get tired of watching them.

I showed them to my dad, who wonders whether they use the same 2 legs all the time or whether they switch off. He is such a geek....

That is just too totally bizarrely cool! I'd read the article, but didn't look at the movies at the time.
