Amazing. I was just reading about Octopuses on Quora.com, and saw an image I wanted to share on FR, so i switched over to here, hit F5, and the newest post was yours. So here it is:
Another trick they have is the ability to squeeze their body through extremely tight spaces. An Octopus multiple feet in length, could easily fit through an inch sized hole. If that's not unbelievable; then I don't know what is.

In the latest Pew pole, 8 out of 10 octopi said they were NOT voting for Commiela.
Which makes them smarter than half the human population.

Amazing...but I’ve long felt our animal friends are much smarter than most give them credit for.

This type of behavior can been seen with cows and birds.
Some birds follow cows as they graze and eat the insects the cows stir up as they move through the grasses.
They cows do not know or care they are assisting birds to feed.

The most symbiotic relationships are where each species cannot live without the other. They fully depend on each other.
Probably the most well-know of these is Yucca Plant and Yucca Moth (Tegeticula sp.). One of the most extraordinary partnerships between an insect and the plant that it pollinates is that of the yucca and the yucca moth. They are so interdependent that one cannot live without the other. Actually, there are a number of species of yucca, each with its corresponding partner, a species of Tegeticula or Parategeticula moth. This mutually beneficial relationship probably started as a relationship of exploitation with the moth feeding on the yucca. This is still the case with a number of close relatives of Tegeticula, members of the Prodoxidae family.

I’ve had owls follow me on deer trails, at night. I’m sure they follow deer, and other animals, too. Had a Short-Eared Owl follow my dog, years ago. Flew about 4 feet above him, and a few feet behind. Nemo never knew he was there.

Could be a suicide pact. Most commensal relationships have an out.

"...Another trick they have is the ability to squeeze their body through extremely tight spaces..." They're invertebrates, have no bones. The only part of an octopus's body that's rigid is its beak. It can squeeze through any hole large enough for its beak to pass through.

Badgers and coyotes sometimes hunt together. The badgers flush out prey from underground and the coyotes make the kill.
