The Octopus Monster
07/19/08 - Only In Japan
“The permanent display at the Shima Marineland Aquarium in the town of Shima includes a 96-tentacled Common Octopus that weighed 7 lbs and measured 3 ft long when it was captured in nearby Matoya Bay in December 1998. Before dying 5 months later, the creature laid eggs, making it the first known extra-tentacled octopus to do so in captivity.” w/ photos
