Octopus vs. Octopus | National Geographic

the Sun hangs low in the sky off
Australia’s East Coast as day melts into
night the paths of two predators are
about to cross one is octopus or not us
otherwise known as the white striped
octopus his comparatively tiny
counterpart only recently found here is
Abdul puss a coolie Otis also called the
shaggy octopus both mollusks spend low
tide prowling the nooks and crannies of
the shallows near a place called one
tree island looking for a bite to eat
octopuses are a marvel of engineering
they have no hard skeletal structure so
they’re able to stretch and squash their
way through very tiny openings an
octopus the size of or not us can
squeeze through a hole the size of a
quarter and a coolie on us about the
size of an orange has the ability to
hide in plain sight which is handy when
one of your brethren might like to have
you for his next meal but a coolie
Otis’s movements have given him away and
the chase is on
with his arms stretching six feet around
him or not us can cover a lot of ground
very quickly but a coolie on us has
another trick up his sleeve the ability
to get up on his little arms and run in
the end or not us is outpaced and a
coolie honest lives to see another day
chalk one up for the little guy
