Octopus Inside A Bottle by julesnene on flickr “Unlike most other cephalopods, the majority of octopuses have almost entirely soft bodies with no internal skeleton. A beak, similar in shape to a parrot’s beak, is the only hard part of their body. This enables them to squeeze through very narrow slits between underwater rocks, which is very helpful when they are fleeing from morays or other predatory fish.” via cephalolove: jraffunderwater: allcreatures: … thenegativecreep

    I admit it. Adorably small octopi in jars are one of my weaknesses.
