Was sure I'd hate diving with a big group, but a clumsy octopus encounter had us all laughing and now I'm a fan.

Read somewhere that each arm has its own bunch of nerves, so it's like eight little brains trying to work together. Explains the fumbles for sure.

Wait, clumsy? I've never heard of an octopus being clumsy before! They're usually so smooth and graceful in the water, that's hilarious.

I saw a video from the Monterey Bay Aquarium where an octopus kept dropping a crab like three times trying to get it into its den. It was fumbling around like it had butter on its tentacles. Tbh it made me feel better about being a mess sometimes. They're graceful until they have to do something precise, I guess.
