Flight of the Octopus

VISIT OUR OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL: OCEAN NETWORKS CANADA https://www.youtube.com/user/OceanNetworksCanada As ROPOS touches down on the sediment next to the drillhead, an octopus watches warily from its lair atOcean Drilling Platform 2016B (2660m below sea level). When ROPOS grasps an anemone-festooned rope, the startled animal shrinks into a pink ball. A short while later, as ROPOS prepares to fasten the rope to the drillhead, the octopus first lurks in the sediment, then flaps its web and flies off into the darkness.
