Blue-ring Octopus: Sushi's revenge

[glennokc]

This cute little fella is called a blue-ringed octopus. While it looks pretty, it carries a deadly bite. No antivenom is available, and many people are unaware they have been bitten until symptoms emerge.

have a look at the palm of your hand. Thats how big this blighter is. the whole octopus fits in there.



In the second picture you can barely make out the beak :-?

The only attack you if they feel threated, but as nobody has done a psychological profile of octopi we don't know what makes them feel threated... things like only having 2 legs or being hairy
