The octopus is often cast as a villainous monster in adventure movies. It is said to hide in dark places, waiting for unsuspecting divers to pull them to their deaths. In reality, the octopus is not a fearsome monster at all, rather it is an intelligent, timid and very interesting animal.
The octopus is not nearly as aggressive as its close relative, the ten-armed squid*. One octopus will indeed attack, and even sometimes eat another octopus that enters its territory, but divers report that it will usually try to avoid contact with man. Interestingly enough, however, octopi in captivity can become very friendly with man and will seek human company rather than avoid it
Octopi are sometimes playful and clever. A naughty** laboratory specimen waited for the technicians to leave the laboratory to make nightly trips to a nearby tank to eat fish. The technicians were mystified*** by the disappearance of the fish until they caught the octopus on one of its nightly raids.
Far from being a monster to be feared, the octopus is another of the interesting members of nature.
* squid - a marine mollusk with a long body and ten arms around the mouth.
** naughty - mischievous, playful, teasing.
***mystified - bewildered, perplexed.
