The common white octopus is typically found off the British coast, usually dwelling about a hundred meters deep in the ocean. But “the behavior of these octopuses doesn’t fit into this category,” notes Mandy Reid, a cephalopod expert at the Australian Museum, speaking to Sciencealert. Normally, turbulent waters don’t trouble octopuses, but a severe storm with violent currents could indeed mislead these animals. In fact, several octopuses were found dead on the beach the following morning.
