Octopus walks on land
An octopus at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in California hauls itself out of the water, and moves across land, before sliding back into the water. Octopuses do this in nature to escape predators, and also to find food of their own in tidal pools.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is a San Mateo County Park located in Moss Beach, CA, about 40 minutes south of San Francisco.
