Also they have almost no bones- So a fairly large octopus can squeeze through a quarter sized hole.

the cephalopods are certainly well positioned to take over once we're out of the way.
I'm glad they didn't bother looking for him. Something wants to get out that bad, you just let it go. LLAP, Inky.

My stepmother was a volunteer at Moat Marine in Sarasota. My Dad swore that an octopus was in love with his wife. And by golly, it would follow her from one side of the tank to wherever she was, would come from the back when she put her face up against the front and never moved until she left. And no, she was not feeding it.
