Octopus


octopus, originally uploaded by Junior Naturalist.

A large octopus found washed up on the beach in front of the Sanibel Lighthouse. He was about 14 inches of so and oozed a thick, black ink when we picked him up.

He must not have been dead very long because he still had some pigment in his skin, unlike the small specimens that we came across.

A trio of dead octopi washed ashore on the beaches of Sanibel Island. A man was carrying them in a large Pen Shell.
