Caretakers at the Seattle Aquarium wanted to gussy up the shark tank by adding an octopus but were concerned that it would quickly become fish food. They finally took the plunge and did so, on the theory that the octopus's great ability to camouflage itself and hide in tight spaces would eliminate unsavory acts of predation.
They were tragically wrong. Four to five foot long sharks began disappearing overnight, and the octopus got bigger.
