9 January 2024 – Anderillium Blue-ringed Octopus

Today we begin the eight-ink Cephalopod series with a stunner! Both the ink and the little guy (one will wow you, the other Will wow you and could kill you).

They can change entire color pattern in mere milliseconds.
I may try to get these photographed while they’re still… inky 🙂
“One of the most deadly marine animals is the Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) of Australia; its venom can be fatal to humans.” -J A Mather, Ph.D. (from “Octopus: The Ocean’s Intelligent Invertebrate”)
Inky!
