Purple Octopus Moves Majestically - Okeanos Explorer Video Bite - Northeast U.S. Canyons 2013

ROV zooms in on an octopus meandering around the sea floor. After investigating a pile of discarded nets, the Deep Discoverer ROV captured some great footage of a beautiful octopus slinking around on the ocean floor. Octopi seek out canyon-like environments, such as the one in this video bite, because it provides them with ample space to hunt and hide. Like what you see here?
