Aw! I loved its color scheme. I think it looked formidable partly due to the closeup. After all, they're usually only a fingerlength from head to rear. PZ Myers has a pic of the Mimic Octopus up that gave me pause - long imposing pointed tentacles like curved blades (in that particular photo) fabulously striped black and silver. But I saw a video of one being offered a fish by a hooman, saw how small and delicate a creature it is, and decided it wasn't so scary after all. At least as long as one is not an even smaller fish.
That one is SCARY!!!
ReplyDeleteit kind of creeped me out, to be honest.
