The octopus/shark video is fairly old. It’s from a Discovery Science Channel “Discoveries This Week” bit about the Seattle Aquarium.
And Wonderpus is prominently featured in the program “Mimic Octopus”, as well as Nature’s “The Octopus Show” and “The Ultimate Guide to the Octopus”, among others.
Hippy-trippy, maaaaan.
I suggested they should call it Glamourpus but no one was impressed.
Mandelbrotopus! Octomandelpus! Cephalbrotopod! Fractalpod! Fractalpus! Iteratopod! Octomandelfractalpusopod!
Martin Richard, I swear, if I ever have the honor of naming two cehpalopod species, the second will be “octomandelfractalpusopod.”
Haven’t they scientifically described this bugger yet?
They haven’t named the mimic octopus yet, either. Is this common? (/Clueless non-scientist.)
Video. Please. ASAP.
Octupus sp.? Octopus fookin’ sp.? C’mon, PZ, you can do better than that!
It’s like some sort of aquatic oompa loompa, but cooler and with more beak.
Today on MSN news:
Video: Octopus kills shark

I can’t look at it myself, because I refuse to get their upgrade.
Far out!

I give in. I’ve added Cephalopods: A World Guide to my wish list.
