Under a veil of creepiness, an octopus swims.
The allure of the unique Blanket Octopus is its poetic defense mechanism. When the Blanket Octopus is threatened, a gorgeous scarf-like webbing unfurls from a set of arms tucked within its body, making the animal appear large, intimidating and creepy to potential predators.
Snooze. We’d rather see a blast of jet-black ink in the face. Who’s with us?
This would totally go with that new blazer I just bought.
Watch the blanket in action, accompanied by proper English voiceover work:
Freaking awesome.
Amazing animal, Irish voice over. Pierce Brosnan
It’s really just not the same without David Attenborough :p
Snooze?! When these guys are only BABIES they’re already ripping tentacles off of Portuguese men-of-war to use as weapons! Unfurling a “flag” uses less resources than ink (can’t suck that ink back up), so I think they’re just speaking softly and carrying big sticks (of toxic “jellyfish” poison).
It looks like Voldemort flying. Amazing.
