In the Galapagos Islands they discovered something blue. It turned out to be a little octopus that could sit in the palm of your hand. Such a cutie, don’t you think?

It is very odd to see a small octopus that fits in the palm of my hand.

This was a very interesting article. It’s amazing to me that new species of animals are still being discovered today.

@AmbiePam, that is a hopeful sign for the environment. Such cute little octopuses. Makes me wonder what the mama looks like. I mean, there must be a mama they came from, shouldn't there?
