Octopuses Squeeze Through Holes Smaller Than Their Heads Using a Three- or Four-Step Routine, Lab Video Shows

A study published Nov. 5 in the Journal of Experimental Biology used cameras and clear aquarium boxes to show that octopuses follow a repeatable routine: three steps for a roomier hole and four for a tight one.
