The mimic octopus is amazing. Some video clips have shown how incredibly it can change shape and color into anything, it seems. The Japanese spider crabs at the Oregon Coast Aquarium are note 13 feet wide because they are juveniles. But they were interesting to see, and they were pretty big, compared to most crabs.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about the mimic octopus. It sounds very interesting. I wonder if it can make noises too.
ReplyDeleteThose crabs sound intense. What do they look like?
