eight legs are better than two

Once again, The New Scientist comes through with a fascinating article on octopuses (octopi?) that can 'walk' on two tentacles. A team at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that the octopuses will bend their tentacles to look like seaweed or ball them up to resemble a coconut, and use the two remaining tentacles to saunter across the sea floor. Be sure and watch the two videos. Amazing.
