WEBVTT 00:00:06.642 --> 00:00:07.450 Well, there's an octopus. 00:00:12.364 --> 00:00:14.364 It's almost Octopus Friday back here on the East Coast. 00:00:14.948 --> 00:00:16.510 Octopus Friday? 00:00:17.542 --> 00:00:21.490 In New Zealand, it is Octopus Friday and we're closer to New Zealand than to you, so this counts. 00:00:23.957 --> 00:00:26.970 Here you can see the octopus contracting what's called the mantle. 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:34.900 The mantle has gills in it, so it's pulling water in across those gills, and then it can pass the water out. 00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:39.980 And it's got a small funnel in front of that mantle so that it could funnel the water 00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:44.970 as it squeezes it into the funnel so that it shoots and jets away very quickly.
