Default octopus climbing out of tanks


"Nehmo" wrote in message
ups.com...
There are mentions on the web of an octopus climbing out of a tank,
traveling across a dry surface, going into another tank, grabbing a
fish for a meal, and then returning to their home tank. Some web-
comments say there is a video that was on TV. But I haven't found
anything like it on the web. Is this behavior possible? Is this story
true?

In my experience, when octopus climb out of tanks, they die on the floor.
Got no bones ya see.
Yes I can see them moving accross into another tank on same rack
but once they drop to the floor
they are almost a jellyfish
So while it may have happened
I assure ya, most octopus that escape tanks, die pretty close to where they
land.
:-)
