I was amazed to learn that octopus are so short-lived. It takes smart mammals ages to mature, but these lil guys just come out of the gate like “good morning, I’m a scientist.”

Great thread.
I especially like the Alice the goon like Prussian octopus

I've photographed a number of them, but they're universally shy. Nearly all scuba divers will avoid harassing octopuses in their natural environment, but this little fella seems a bit odd. Don't inadvertantly stick a finger around their beak under the mantle, they can take the tip off in a single bite.

i was just gonna ask "don't they bite with that beak?" they look terrifyingly sharp.

Their tongues are also covered in teeth (but that goes against the AWWW directive of this thread).
