Walking Octopuses
There’s a new journal article by Huffard called Underwater Bipedal Locomotion by Octopuses in Disguise, in a recent Science magazine. They have videos of the walking octopuses, but I thought an animated gif would be more helpful for blog visitors. Sorry for 500kb of image fun:
This has been covered by Slashdot, Boing Boing and many bloggers.
