I wonder if there is any sort of insulating gel that could allow octopuse to take prolonged excusions onto land? perhaps cover it with sand and dirt and have it dry over to become a sort of artificial skin (probably resembling pacydermal skin, almost analogous to that described by Wells in War of the Worlds)?
i've heard stories of octopi spotted scavenging/hunting along shorelines. see how it moves with ease, just sad a slug could'nt escape from this sea creature...ON LAND!
@Macr888 There was a pet store once. The owners, or employees noticed that overnight, there were fish disapearing in that tank. They finally put up a security camers and found out that there octopus, at night got out of it's own tank, went across the room, into the other tank, had it's midnight snack, then got back in it's own tank, putting the lids back on both tanks.
@Macr888 Hahahahaha, that made me laugh. By the way, the correct plural form of the word "octopus" is either octopodes (pronounced oc-top-o-dees), octpods, or octopuses. It's not octopi as cactus would be cacti. That is because cactus is a Latin word so it ends in "i" in it's plural form. Octopus is Greek, so it's not "octopi". I thought that was kind of cool! :D
i dont want to seem like a hippi or anything but i mean it was cool that you let it go it just looked like it was suffering like it couldnt breathe??? idk

Far too many aquarium workers have discovered the amphibiousness and dexterity of octopus when crabs begin to go missing nightly from nearby tanks.

As long as there's water stored in its siphon, an octopus can survive on land.

Most are quite small but some are human size, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus or the Seven-Arm Octopus.

Go to google images and type in the phrase "lusca: giant octopi" for archival photos of a huge octopi.
