Eight-Armed Pirates
In a video that recently went viral, an octopus holds a cat shark back while making off with a bucket of bait. Wild octopuses are not the only ones good at snatching up loot.
"Aquarium octopuses are notorious for their ability to pick the most sophisticated locks and latches and make midnight snack raids in neighboring exhibits," according to the Shedd Aquarium blog. Yum yum.
