If that wasn’t a motto you already lived by, perhaps this video will learn you otherwise. Some good folks at an aquarium thought it would be ok to move a giant octopus into a tank with some sharks, they figured the octopus’s camouflage powers would keep it safe. It seems they made an error of judgement when they started finding shark carcasses in the tank every morning. EVERY morning. I’m just saying, that octopus didn’t need to eat a shark a night – it was doing it for FUN. That’s my official scientific conclusion based on the evidence at hand.
Also, octopuses are smart. Smarter than you, because I know you’ve been thinking that the only correct plural of octopus was octopi. Sorry buddy, you and your elementary school cool kid trivia don’t stand up to the cold hard light of wikipedia. So I like to think of this as a triumph of brains over brawn. Or perhaps it’s the triumph of 8 besuckered tentacles over 3 rows of teeth. One or the other.
