The crab has a shell and two sharp claws. I'm sure the shellfish could coax some ink out of the octopod.

Actually, I'd be interested in seeing what the octopus actually does to the crab after taking it under that rock

Don't have a photo, but it turns out I have wild minks living at my cottage. Saturday morning, I was drinking a coffee by the lake when I heard a noise, when I looked down I saw what I thought was a skinny squirrel with a fish in its mouth. He took one look at me, darted inside some weeds and immediately re-appeared minus the fish. He then started darting around rocks to take a better look at me ( I was standing motionless to not scare him off), he finally flashed his teeth presumably to intimidate me and dove in the Lake.

Aggressive little buggers.

I frequently get the same curious looks from our local Timber Tigers.

We need to open a

thread about weasels, minks, and polecats...and ferrets!!

In 5 million years he will be the dominant species here. I know there are lots of times I wish I had 3 arms, let alone 8

Move over

!!!

In an effort to use a fake, life-sized orca to scare off hundreds of sea lions crowding docks off the Oregon coast ended, at least temporarily, with the fiberglass creature belly-up after it was swamped by a passing ship.
Still, Port of Astoria Executive Director Jim Knight said the sea lions briefly "got deathly silent" when the orca sailed into view. That was just before it started listing and tipped over Thursday night." "Our crew from the port had to go rescue the operator so he didn't drown.
"You can't make this stuff up," http://www.cbsnews.com/news/oregon-sea-lions-fake-orca/

It was a cunning scheme, one that pitted the sly artifice of man against whatever it is sea lions have. But alas—nature won.

It was almost a Killer Whale.

In Boston, Mass, of all places.

Insulated with detrtitus and refreezing itself with it's ice core...
