If God was high when he designed the octopus, he must have been on a helluva bender when he came up with the platypus."It's like, an egg laying cat that lives in water but with a duck beak and borrows a beaver tail and little sea monster feet with claws and a poison spur and... Oh man I'm soo bent."

That's the infamous Blue-ringed octopus! Found un Sydney Harbour among other scenic spots, it can kill in under a minute. The glowing blue rings mean it's armed and alarmed.

I saw a silly tourist ( from somewhere in the Middle East) pick one up at our local beach/rock pool. I ran over & smacked it out of his hand. Got spat on (& I think sworn at 🤷🏽‍♀️) for my efforts. Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

You forget the part where he decided it should be incredibly dangerous

Tiny but deadly too

Blue ring octopus - enough venom to kill 24 people by paralysis, if you get stung and can get to a ventilator to breath for you for 15 hours you'll be fine.

Give it 9 brains and 3 hearts too

Then there's the platypus. That thing's from another planet.

And eight vaginas.

And make its brain doughnut shaped

And one arm is actually a penis

This blue ringed octopus is native to where I am in Australia. Its also incredibly venomous. I believe you have around 20 minutes to do something about being bitten or you die. I had one crawl along my arm once, suffice to say it scared the absolute crap out of me.

Seen heaps of these when l was a kid. They're pretty small but pack a punch.
