the bizarre creature thread

octopi fascinate me to no end. I'd like to go scuba diving in the puget sound some time, some of the world's largest octopi live there!

Try Hood's Canal at the base of the Sound. Been there and dived it. Funny thing is that octopi are so good at camo that you can easily look right at big ones hiding in cracks and rocks and never realize what you're seeing. They just look like rocks.
