Octopus With Nine Tentacles
Octo means eight, thus Octopus has eight tentacles. Well, until this fella came along, this special octopus has nine tentacles! To give you some perspective on how amazing and rare this is, Masa Koita, the 60-year-old shop manager who noticed this nine tentacled sea creature said “In 40 years of handling seafood, I’ve never seen an octopus like this.” The octopus was sighted in the Marusan Seafood Shop in Marugame, Japan - Sadly, after it was already boiled, guess we won’t be able to see what the Octopus does with it’s extra tentacles.
A spokesperson for the Akashi Seafood Council in nearby Hyogo prefecture confirmed the unusual nature of the extra-tentacled creature: “In Akashi, we might see one every 20 years or so. They are extremely rare.” - Pink Tentacle
