The coloring is really cool!
I wonder what it tastes like?

Locomotion and buoyancyEdit
Octopuses swim headfirst, with arms trailing behind
While most cephalopods can move byjet propulsion, this is a very energy-consuming way to travel compared to the tail propulsion used by fish.[36] The efficiency of a propellor-driven waterjet(i.e. Froude efficiency) is a more efficient model than rocketefficiency.[37] The relative efficiency ofjet propulsion decreases further as animal size increases; paralarvae are far more efficient than juvenile and adult individuals.[38] Since the Paleozoic era, as competition with fish produced an environment where efficient motion was crucial to survival, jet propulsion has taken a back role, with fins andtentacles used to maintain a steady velocity.[3] Whilst jet propulsion is never the sole mode of locomotion,[3]:208 the stop-start motion provided by the jets continues to be useful for providing bursts of high speed - not least when capturing prey or avoiding predators.[3]Indeed, it makes cephalopods the fastest marine invertebrates,[5]
refaceand they can out-accelerate most fish.[31] The jet is supplemented with fin motion; in the squid, the fins flap each time that a jet is released, amplifying the thrust; they are then extended between jets (presumably to avoid sinking).[38] Oxygenated water is taken into the mantle cavity to the gills and through muscular contraction of this cavity, the spent water is expelled through the hyponome, created by a fold in the mantle. The size difference between the posterior and anterior ends of this organ control the speed of the jet the organism can produce.[39] The velocity of the organism can be accurately predicted for a given mass and morphology of animal.[40] Motion of the cephalopods is usually backward as water is forced out anteriorly through the hyponome, but direction can be controlled somewhat by pointing it in different directions.[41] Some cephalopods accompany this expulsion of water with a gunshot-like popping noise, thought to function to frighten away potential predators.[42]Link to full article:

FRAT: That's it's jet hole.
@mysticmac next time you are down here ill take you land based squiding. Nothing like that monster but at my spot I had one on that bent the metal inner shell of the jig and tore that lining off. Cunt that was a $40 yamashita jig too
Sounds good to me!

This is why I don't do oceans.
I surfed san onofre once with 10 sharks a few yards away on "trail 1" unbeknownst to me, at other beaches you also worry about sting rays stings which hurt like hell and urchins, rip currents can also drag you out to sea.
No thank you.
Why not? You can see in the video how close the camera man was to this beast, and nothing bad happened. If it were me, I'd be frozen in amazement and wouldn't shut up about it for about a month.
Not sure honestly, more my imagination I don't like not being able to see what's going on and that freaks me out, sea weed touches me and I'm running out the water, faster then Aldo's last fight.
