    "transcript":"\u003Cp\u003EThe sun hangs low in the sky off Australia\u0027s east coast.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs day melts into night, the paths of two predators are about to cross.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne is \u003Cem\u003Eoctopus ornatus\u003C/em\u003E, otherwise known as the white\u002Dstriped octopus.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHis comparatively tiny counterpart, only recently found here, is \u003Cem\u003Eabdopus aculeatus\u003C/em\u003E, also called the shaggy octopus.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBoth mollusks spend low tide prowling the nooks and crannies of the shallows near a place called One Tree Island looking for a bite to eat.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOctopuses are a marvel of engineering...they have no hard skeletal structure, so they\u0027re able to stretch and squash their way through very tiny openings.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAn octopus the size of ornatus can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd aculeatus, about the size of an orange, has the ability to hide in plain sight.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhich is handy when one of your brethren might like to have you for his next meal.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut aculeatus\u0027s movements have given him away...and the chase is on.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll octopus species are carnivorous...but some, like ornatus, will cannibalize other octopuses.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith his arms stretching six feet around him, ornatus can cover a lot of ground very quickly.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut aculeatus has another trick up his sleeve...the ability to get up on his little arms...and run!\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the end, ornatus is outpaced...and aculeatus lives to see another day.  Chalk up one for the little guy.\u003C/p\u003E",

    "description":"\u003Cp\u003EWe know that octopuses are carnivorous, but do they turn against other octopuses? Here\u0027s one species of octopus that will cannibalize another one of its \u0022brethren.\u0022  And this sea chase is at the surface along the shore!\u003C/p\u003E",
