水下彩虹

如果你经过这个在海水中滑行的彩色海洋生物，你可能会看两遍。为了庆祝世界章鱼日，我们在佛罗里达棕榈滩附近拍摄了一张罕见的毛毯章鱼照片，令人惊叹。毛毯章鱼的俗名来自于雌性章鱼手臂间的一层织带，如图所示。当受到威胁时，它会张开双臂，形成一个毛毯状的轮廓来恐吓潜在的攻击者。

You might look twice if you passed by this Technicolor sea creature gliding through the ocean water. In celebration of World Octopus Day, we're marveling at a photograph of the rarely seen blanket octopus, near Palm Beach, Florida. The blanket octopus gets its common name from the sheets of webbing that stretch between some arms of the female, like the one pictured here. When threatened, it spreads out its arms, creating a blanketlike silhouette to intimidate would-be attackers.
