| Today's nautilus is a direct descendant of the Nautiloid, while octopi and squid are indirect descendants. |
| In December 1993, scientists in the submersible Alvin were astonished to find, at 2500m depth, two octopi apparently mating. |
| Probably the octopi have separate hatcheries where they raise them for food. |
| Once they are in the ocean, the turtles become potential prey for octopi, sharks, and other large fish. |
| There are about 600 different species of octopi. |
| It was close enough to the little town beach for us to nurse a frappé while watching the children search for unsuspecting octopi among the rocks. |
