Octopus Hunting and Camouflage - Cephalopods - Ocean Animals - Creature Feature

[silverbaal]

At 13 seconds that's amazing. That octopus created a perfect duplication of the rock it is beside. Looking at some of these videos it would seem as if some are better equipped to camouflage than others. Do some have the ability to create a perfect image of their environment, or is it always just one part of them that can camouflage. Can some of them duplicate non marine, like a pattern from our human environment? Would be interesting to know.

The plural of octopus is octopuses.

[KatieAnneDever]

it actual depends on if your talking about two octopus of the same species or if they're different species of octopus

@Djmankiewicz1 Octopi

[Djmankiewicz1]

@lancertan "The Oxford English Dictionary[8] lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order); it labels octopodes "rare", and notes that octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Ancient Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες)"

[Djmankiewicz1]

@Djmankiewicz1 at any rate, it is certainly NOT "octopus" as used in the video.
