 Weird, it didn't save the changes I made in the tile and my details.

Anyway, here's a better look at one of my previous challenge subjects (who didn't fare so well). These just fasinate me to no end!

These are very smart critters. Did you know that they were escape artists? I read where one would slip out of a tiny crack in the top of his tank, go to a fish tank nearby for a meal, then return home. It took a while to figure out what was happening to the fish.
Here's a vid link of interest.

Have you read about all the cognitive experiments they've done with them? They are surprisingly intelligent.

So, you're a sucker for octopi? Ha-ha! I made an octopus joke!
