Octopi are amazing creatures and incredibly intelligent. Very cool vid, thanks.

Have a look at the mimic octopus:

These squid can be pretty nasty:

One of my friends was telling me of his family member's experience at a marine bio research lab. The person was in direct control of many different rare species of fish and other animals. One day fish started ending up missing from their tanks. Faculty of the school were blaming them and accusing them of stealing the expensive fish for sale. The school ended up putting a video camera in the lab. The first night, they caught on tape an octopus opening the lid of his tank, climbing down the stand, across the floor, up into the fish tanks, grab a fish, and make the trek all the way back to its tank, not forgetting to close the lid behind him...

Crazy what these animals can do, given the opportunity
