This video is part of Science Friday's #CephalopodWeek 2015! Join the cephaloparty starting Friday, June 19th.http://cephalopodweek.tumblr.com

Crawling, swimming, squeezing, jetting—the range of movement available to an octopus is impressive. Yet some species occasionally choose to stand up on two arms and "run" backwards. Chrissy Huffard, a Senior Researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, explains the pros and cons of this seemingly silly behavior and why an octopus might find looking foolish useful.

Hi Friends!
We (The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum) are wanting to put a TV in our cephalopod exhibit with some ceph footage. I was wondering if anyone has any high quality footage of cool behavior or camo that you would be willing to let the museum use for this exhibit. It has to be something you have the rights to.
Thanks!
 
@beccalopod, If you can use any of my videos (YouTube user D Whatley are all my personal videos), you are welcomed to them but please include a DWhatley and TONMO credit somewhere in the presentation. I can drop box the original for somewhat better quality but they can be downloaded from YouTube directly. Currently most are all for public viewing but, I can make them unpublished so that only people (TONMO posts) with direct links can view them on YouTube if that is desired.

Here are a few that show some of the public entertainment behaviors you might be trying to find:

O. bimaculoides (Diego) disassembling lego blocks for food:

O. briareus (Onn) taking shrimp from hand:

Spurred by this beautiful video everyone's talking about:
Art, editing, narration, and regrettably poor video quality by Danna Staaf.
Although I gave them short shrift here, I've previously expounded on the mysteries of male squid and their sperm packages:
