Octopuses spotted 'walking out of the sea'


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A group of octopuses were seen walking along a Ceredigion beach on Friday night, surprising experienced sea-goers.

Brett Stones, who runs dolphin tours in Cardigan Bay, saw as many as 25 curled octopuses on New Quay beach as he returned from a day at sea.

"It was a bit like an end of days scenario," he said.

"There were probably about 20 or 25 on the beach. I have never seen them out of the water like that."

A more important question would be, why aren't there any marine biologists going to the site to figure out what's going on? Or doesn't the government give a damn about figuring it out? I'm so tired of the authorities ignoring situations like this. They're all playing violin while the ship goes down, so to speak.

When is ‘octopi’ going to replace ‘octopuses’?

It won't it's not the correct way to pluralise 'ocfupus' anyway. The 'I' would only apply to a Latin word, and octopus isn't rooted in Latin.

I'm not sure why people seem to think this is a sign of something wrong, personally I doubt it. Cardigan Bay is a very healthy place. And it's hard to imagine this behaviour is a reaction to some adverse element in their environment.

Maybe they are evolving?  Just look at the size of the skull.  Imagine the size of the brain!..

Just fro laughs, I found there are 3 acceptable plural versions of octopus.  They are:

octopuses

octopi

octopodes

They don't have skulls, but they are very intelligent.
