What sea creature has eight arms, a rounded body, and bulging eyes? The octopus, of course, that was too simple, wasn’t it? Okay, try this one. What land creature has eight arms, a rounded body, and bulging eyes? Same answer – an octopus! I never knew. This video from 2011 was taken at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach, California and it shows a red octopus ‘walking’ on land.

Most octopuses live in deep water, but a few species live near the water’s surface, according to National Geographic. Some reports have shown that octopuses are intelligent, have good memories and can quickly solve problems. Maybe that is what we are witnessing in the video, the octopus solved a problem! He ate a crab that didn’t agree with him, so can go on shore to ‘drop it off.’

I agree with the one woman you hear in the video, that was the coolest thing I have ever seen! Share away, people!
