Octopuses can change color and texture at will, are jet propelled, squirt ink, smell with their tentacles, can inject nerve-toxin through their beak, open mayonnaise jars, but given a choice they would rather just hide under a rock most of the day. Here are some videos of a pet octopus in action, trying to catch a ghost shrimp. what will happen? watch them all to find out (or just skip to the end, cheater).

For more information on octopuses try here, here or even here.
