Curious Octopus - PNG

Note: This video used to have a much more relevant soundtrack, but Viacom pulled it because somehow, my little video of a cute octopus swimming around to Depeche Mode's "World in My Eyes" was clearly "bad" for their business. Their logic escapes me, but I'll do my best to never give them a penny of mine ever again.

We spent a week on the live-aboard dive boat, Paradise Sport, cruising around Milne Bay in Papua New Guinea. In this clip, we sort of ducked out sight and the octopus came out to find us. We played hide 'n seek for probably 15 minutes with him. Octopi are probably my favorite thing to discover underwater.

Octopuses, or Octopodes, not Octopi

[pixelkatt]

@TheChieftain77 - The Oxford English Dictionary (2008 Draft Revision) lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order)

*according to Wikipedia, anyway, but point taken :-)

That's cool. I want to see an octopus, they're so good at bleding in I probably couldn't see it if it was dancing naked in front of my face. lol...

Look for piles of empty shells and chances are there's an octopus den nearby.

I think it's cute how they stick there head out like that.
