This beautiful juvenile octopus is just 2 centimetres (an inch) wide. It was spotted at night in the deep water off the coast of Tahiti by Fabien Michenet, France, for the “Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015″ contest.

Its transparent body lets us admire its internal organs. Notice also the orange spots on its tentacles: that’s its chromatophores, i.e. the colour-changing cells used for camouflage.

fair point. let me amend my question: WHY the fuck

how did this post miss the best 3 ones:

But why’s nobody sitting with the three least unsettling? By not even having faces the cactus and jellyfish are probably the only ones that aren’t uncanny and disquieting.

Sure Pelagia noctiluca has a “significantly painful” sting but we know there’s lots of humans that freaky
