OCTOPUS!

Some links that I've had open for ages, plus one that is brand-new.

Mr Potato Head makes octopus pal. From the BBC News site a year ago. I posted about octopuses putting together Mr Potato Heads before here.

Interactive Build A Squid. Linked by mactavish, very fun. My colossal squid is called Flobalob, have a look for him sometime :)

Octopuses give eight thumbs up for high-def TV. Except they don't have thumbs. Oh well.

INVISIBLE OCTOPUS IS INVISIBLE. Linked by mactavish, who is clearly my friend in cephalopod fandom. Video of octopus protective camouflage. These creatures are amazing. I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

Give Yowie a squeeze for me, will you?

Seeing a large octopus (about 1 foot across) changing colour about four times while moving about on the bottom of the ocean while scuba diving in Tobago was the highlight of my trip there by a long way. They are my favourite creatures to watch while diving. Amazing.
