So the DH and I were both reared on PBS nature shows and we still like to geek out to them regularily. There is a legendary one which I think was a Nature program called The Octopus Show that totally had me freaking out a couple years ago. But this one totally took the cake:

That link goes to the companion site. Please, I urge you, click on the link that says "Quick Change Artists" and watch the video clips. Don't forget to keep a bucket handy becuase you mind will be blown and it may start leaking on to the floor. Which is messy. Remember, there's no CGI going on here. This is Mother Nature at her very best!

Wow, I didn't know that! So fascinating. They also squirt ink when faced with conflict (learned that in my intro to PR class... a comparison with 'unethical' practitioners).
