If you read the thread, there was some doubt about it and I think we all wished that web video was better at the time. Well, a friend posted a link to <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/206">a TED talk recently that shows this same octopus at a much higher resolution</a>. The relevant footage appears near the end of the talk. And FYI: This doublepost has been <a href="http://metatalk.metafilter.com/15698/Ancient-MeFi-Octopus-Post-Update">MetaTalk-approved</a>!
