I can see why it won an Oscar. Watch it if you can. You won't be sorry. Octopi are such smart critters! The one in the video has more brains in one tentacle than most Republican members of Congress.

Big enough to take a serious chunk out of you. I caught one about that size when fishing offshore. Unhooked it and released it. When I took the boat out it was clinging to the very bottom. That was over a forty mile ride at 38 miles per hour.

I wish people would leave wildlife alone.

Ok. It also kind of cute. 😁
