3 Octupi Videos: Escape of the Shapeshifting Octupus

From Denny: I was looking around Digg today in the Science section for my science blog, The Soul Calendar,where I park all things science that interest me. Blogs really are like a long version of a social site of things you want to share with others.

Remembering our trip to Greece a few years back and how awesome the grilled octupus and calamari tasted because it was so fresh, I guess I just had octupus on the brain. It's wonderful protein and no bones.

These videos are fascinating to watch. One is about a 600 pound octupus who can squeeze into a small space the size of a mere tiny quarter. The second one is a contest in an aquarium between a hungry shark and a giant octupus who were well matched. The third is about a BBC crew going down deep after a giant octupus to film it and saw a huge monster of an octupus wrap itself around one of the divers while filming!

You have to see these creatures. Unbelievable. Sure gives you new respect for the fishermen who go after these scary animals just to serve it up in restaurants. Fishing octupi must be an extreme sport.

To get you over to The Soul Calendar for the 3 video post, go here.

Thanks for visiting!

How to Catch Catfish

World Record HUGE Catfish!!!!!

How to catch Catfish: "I remember when me and a buddy went night fishing for the Big Blue Cats back in the 70s.We used nightcrawlers and chicken livers for bait. We built a bon fire to keep warm by and to entice the fish to come closer to shore.



We fished all night and caught at least 50 Blue Cats that night.Some of them weighing up to 20 pounds.Here are a few ideas if you haven't cat fished..."



This man loves to fish and so do people from Louisiana! They don't call Louisiana the Sportsman's Paradise for nothing! He provides a recipe too and some interesting videos you will enjoy.
