7. Octopuses – The Underwater Escape Artists
You might not be hunting in the ocean, but if you were—good luck catching an octopus.
Mimicry masters: Some octopuses can change both color and texture to blend perfectly with their surroundings.
Tool users: They’ve been caught unscrewing jars, breaking fishing nets, and even throwing rocks at predators.
Escape geniuses: If caught, an octopus can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter.
Some fishermen swear they’ve caught the same octopus multiple times—only to watch it escape every time.
