#3 of 2025: The Strangest Octopi

(Animal posts seem to be winning.  Originally posted on January 26, 2025.)

Title says it all.  I got curious about octopi and wondered what the weirdest species are, which was mostly off looks.  Enjoy.

Argonaut

Blanket Octopus

Coconut Octopus (Use hollowed coconut husks to hide from predators while they walk.)

Dumbo Octopus

Flapjack Octopus

Mimic Octopus (Imitates Eels and Snakes)

Octopus Wolfi (Smallest at 0.6 inches)

Blue-Ringed Octopus (Carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans.)

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    Octopi are fascinating. I watched a video where an octopus punched/slapped (not sure wish) a fish passing by. And Mark Rober did a video on an obstacle course he made for an octopus to show her intelligence.
