Blue Ringed Octopus



I didn't think anyone would be able to imagine an octopus with its full grown size about the same as a golf ball, so I found a picture. This is about the size of a full grown blue ringed octopus. They're small, right!? It's kind of cute, too. But they are one of the most deadly animals alive. One blue ringed octopus could kill twenty-six grown men in just a few minutes. They live in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia. They live about two years and eat squid, hermit crabs, shrimp, and lobster, all alive.
