walnut-size octopus
This isn't exactly news, but it was news to me: Mr. Miller shared with me an National Geographic online piece about a very small male octopus that mates with a female octopus of the same species. No big deal? It is when the female is 40,000 times heavier and 100 times larger than the male. Fascinating stuff. I can't stop thinking about these little guys.
