Octopus meets shark

Thursday, May 10, 2007

Fascinating but not for the squeamish. My wife discovered this video on a blog written by a friend of my older son’s. Nothing political about it, but certainly shows how surprising nature can be. [googlevideo]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7004909622962894202&hl=en[/googlevideo]
