Thanks Rothgar, but I've seen that one. It's the security tape of the octopus stealing the crabs that I would like to see.

Re: Octopus snatches coconut and runs

I saw that Murphy, but I noticed that the bbc video wasn't working from the first post. I guess the octopus that was stealing crabs was at the Oregon State University. They talk a little about it here. Critter Corner: Octopus | Hatfield Marine Science Center Visitor Center

I did find some other interesting videos while looking for that one.

YouTube - Octopus at Mote Marine Stealing Feeding Dish

YouTube - My Octopus opening a container to get a crab!!

Awesome Rothgar! I've been to Mote Marine many times. I love the place. I especially like the giant squid, and the stingrays in the touch tank like to suck on your fingers. Very weird! Thanks for finding those!
