Watch this red pacific octopus disappearing into sand !

As Jon Anderson (the diver who shot the video) explains:

I started the video rolling, and observed this fascinating behavior that I hadn’t seen before.  When illuminated by my light, the octopuses would find and disappear into a nearby innkeeper wormhole.  I observed several octopuses exhibiting this behavior that night.  Perhaps the octopuses are learning that Whiskers (the infamous Harbor Seal) uses divers lights to hunt for dinner and devising new escape strategies.  I am happy to report that no octopuses were eaten by Whiskers in the making of this film.

    The title lead me to believe the octopus was ripping apart space and teleporting via Doctor Who intro, I don’t know if...
