A place to escape between here and there

Octopus Leaves Water and Walks on Land

There is something completely creepy about the idea of octopuses walking on land, well at least for me its creepy. Though it’s not uncommon to see an ocotpus outside of water for a little bit, especially for captive ones that have been known to escape and turn up in the least expected places. It is, however, rare to catch the act on film. I’m not sure exactly why this one leaves the water and seems to follow the people, but I did see that it left behind a dead crab. Maybe the octopi was protesting pollution, and decided to throw his garbage on our turf.

Maybe its all the Lovecraft reading but things that live in the ocean should stay there. I’d feel more comfortable thank you.
