      ​@Luke H its octopuses in english. The word is greek, you cant just put a latin plural ending on it because you cant tell the difference. The greek plural is octopodes, but in english we use the english plural ending which in this case is -es.

    Are those squid or cuttlefish? Maybe some squids really resemble cuttlefish, or it’s just how the video was edited.
