That's neat and I wish he was alive so we could have seen it. Im not sure if bi-pedal locomotion is only used for one purpose because according to the news about them doing this behavior, it was just seen and only used to escape danger like a frozen rock drifting away. Im guessing it depends under the situations..if its motivated enough to do the exact behaviors.
However, catching prey and bringing it back to its lair doesn't seem like the motivation to do a precise bi-pedal locomotion. But im not saying im right cuz you never know. Im just saying that so far, it just looks natural and ordinary and done by most octo's simply walking along the seafloor.
