Amazing Camo

[TaknByD]

I use to have a foot long octopus in an old tank of mine when I was living in Miami.. These guys are so cool! I've seen guys that have made unbelievable octopus tanks out of see through tubing. Really cool to see them walk through it. Mine was a double spotted octopus. Very cool how they change texture and color to match the rocks in your tank. I've have people come over and stare right at my octopus and ask me where he was, and he was sitting right on top of the rock looking right at them. Very very cool animals. Smart too.. I've heard of people training octopuses to open up bottles to get to their food. I use to feed mine live shrimp from a bate shop that I lived a block away from. Awesome to watch them hunt. Good video and thanks for sharing.

Very cool. I thought that was a little photoshopping as well the first time around but as he shows it in slow mo in reverse you can make it out.

What's a ted talk? The audience thought it was as cool as I did, maybe I should see what else this guy has to say.
