Valentine's Day release for amorous octopus


Hopefully, everyone had a good Valentine's Day. A common (sydney?) octopus in New Zealand was released back into the wild on Valentine's Day in the hope it will find a mate . Footage of the amorous octopus and its release can be viewed at http://www.abcscience.net.au/news/video/2009/02/14/2491507.htm . And how many babies do octopus have? Octuplets : )
