#HeadlineTherapy It might not look like a clam, but don’t be fooled- this is no clam. It walks on two legs and tucks its home under its arms wherever it goes.

Thanks to Debbie Graham of Discover Wildlife Online for the Headline

Bit of a long headline, certainly not short and snappy like I imagine it’s subject to be. The creature is a Veined Octopus, now if the name  doesn’t give you nightmares my AI generated picture will.(see below)

The veined octopus walks on two legs and uses the other six as camouflage or to carry it’s home around, or if you are a fan of certain horror movies to wrap itself around you and suck your blood after squeezing you to within an inch of your life and using it’s razor sharp beak to tear lumps of flesh of your face.

Sorry I digress, this Octopus lives in the Molucca Sea of Indonesia, and is also known as the Coconut Octopus because it sometimes uses discarded coconut shells as it’s home. Perhaps it’s quite cute after all.

AI generated picture, the veined octopus is not scary and just gets on with it’s life.
