[PetChickenz]

perhaps you should re-title your video from "stupid octopus tricks" to "smart octopus tricks".

Thats Childs play!!! My Octopus play the banjo........self taught!!!! I would make a video but we don't like to show off.

I've seen octopi using coconut shells, opening jars, "playing" with cameras, going into bottles, and even using a jet of water to short out a light that was bothering it.

Hmm I wonder...

If someone were to put a large jar with a lid and a crab inside, and then leave the jar in there would it move into the jar and start closing the lid while it was inside for protection?
