Awesome Animal Pick

I chose the greater blue-ringed octopus because I have always been fascinated with octopus intelligence, and this particular species is beautiful. I also find it interesting that they produce different toxins to use against predators and prey.

Animal Family Member

The Axolytl is part of the Octopodidae family which contains the majority of known octopus species. One of the most amazing aspects of this family is that the octopus has three hearts. And Paul the Octopus has been famous world wide because of its accurate prediction in the 2010 World Cup.
