cleverly disguised as a clump of algae

[serenissima]

I thought this was cute:
Octopuses Seen Walking From Predators

"...Octopuses trying to avoid being eaten usually hold still to camouflage themselves. But by walking on two arms, these two types were able to move quickly while using their other arms to disguise themselves.
Two individuals of O. marginatus from Indonesia wrapped six arms around themselves, looking like a coconut on the sea floor. They then used the two rear arms to move backward.
In Australia, O. aculeatus was seen raising two arms above its head before lifting four more and moving backward on the two remaining arms. The researchers described it as looking like 'a clump of algae tiptoeing away.'"

Thank you for your message in my guestbook. The main message of the whole Shiavo case is the importance of making your will known in some sort of legal document so situations like this can be avoided. The sad thing is that no one knows what Terri wants. Everyone is projecting their will into hers. The truth has disappeared in the media hype. -- widower (http://widower.diaryland.com)
