Octopus I saw at the Metro Toronto Zoo, this past Sunday. Wish I brought my better camera with me.

BIRTHDAY COUPLE!: Join us in wishing giant #anteater Jimi and his leading lady Tullah a very happy birthday! Together for nearly a year, Jimi’s head over heels for his gal. At 6-years-old, Tullah’s the boss, and 2-year-old Jimi’s just here for extra avocado and a good time. (He’s pictured below enjoying a birthday swim this afternoon!)

Scientists didn’t discover a single male Blanket octopus until 2002 because they were looking at the wrong magnitude. Females can be up to 40,000 times more massive than males; the largest gender size discrepancy in the animal kingdom.

- And I ran after it. What I was going to do I can’t imagine. But I actually tried to slow it down by catching its tail. But when it turned round and had a look at me, I decided that was as far as I was going to take this.
