If you are a little bored after stuffing yourself at Thanksgiving Dinner.  Check out this video of a octopus walking on land.

It turns out it's quite unusual to capture video of a walking octopus in action. Part of the reason that studies on the creatures have been so limited, aside from their brief three-year life spans, is that they are notoriously shy, usually avoiding contact not only with humans, but with any other creatures, including fellow octopi.

This video was shot by a family at the marine park.
