Whoooo lives in a beer bottle under the sea?
We have seen the amazing octopus wiggle it's way in and out of some surprisingly small spaces, yet it is always astounding to watch this special little ceph do its thang. Check out the video below to see how the skeleton-free octopus can contort its body in and out of tight spaces with grace and ease while camouflaging itself on the ocean floor.
P.S. Shame on whoever is littering the sea with beer bottles!
Eight arms, three hearts, and endless capabilities! Cephalophiles, dwellers of the deep, and lovers of all things absurd, join us as we explore and celebrate everything octopus!

Cyanea Octopus in "The Great Escape!"
Because of their advanced problem-solving skills, dexterous mobility, and lack of a rigid skeletal structure, octopuses have the unique talent of being able to fit through tiny spaces. In this video, a 600 pound Cyanea Octopus wriggles it's way through an opening no bigger than a quarter! The footage is very high quality, offering a detailed view of the slippery tentacles as they maneuver through a clear plastic tube, and the narration is pretty darn informative. Enjoy:
