    this video is unreal. Totally hidden, blended in with surroundings. Only animal that can create a BUMPY texture with their skin, to blend in with rocks, rough sea bed, ect.

    TLC (or was it National Geographic) had a series on the OCTOPUS a while back. Nothing new. They're the "Houdini" of the sea. :cool:

    Nice video, but I don't see how this has anything to do with the existence of extraterrestrials.
