Two species of octopuses walk on two legs

Octopuses are extremely bright problem solvers, and seem to have learned a good way to avoid predators by walking along the ocean floor with only two tentacles while balling up the rest of their bodies.

Check out how cool it looks on that video.

Yeah, I saw that on the news last night. I couldn't figure out what the hell it was. After they said it was an octopus, the shape made sense as well as the way it was moving because of the water.

Actually, it was the second video that they showed on the news, but it didn't make any sense that they said that it balled it's tentacles around it to look like a coconut, because that video wasn't of the same kind of octopus.

That was cool, but isnt it octopi?

Logic, lol - that bugged me too!

I actually had to look that up before I posted, because I didn't know what form to use. (The article uses 'octopuses' but I didn't read it all at first.) I found an article that explained 'octopi' would be incorrect technically because the word didn't originate from Latin, but from Greek. It went on to say that octopi was nonetheless used and has became correct from being used so often. So either one works. There was another way, too.. Like octopoid or some weird word like that. Not sure, and a little off topic, but yeah. XD
