The coconut octopus is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific. It feeds on shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal walking and tool use; it gathers coconut shells and seashells and uses them for shelter.
It displays a color pattern with dark ramified lines similar to veins, normally with a yellow siphon. The arms are usually darker, with contrasting white suckers.

The phrase "government approved book" or "government approved curriculum" should alarm everyone. #Indoctrination is the process of teaching people to accept ideas uncritically. Only presenting one idea and banning & demonizing any idea that counters it meets the definition.

@juglugs @GayDeceiver A Guinea pig the size of a cow. A capybara?

Went to see The Tempest at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival this afternoon. (And yes, I know that sounds like a contradiction of terms.) They always do something different. This performance had a woman playing the role of Prospero. She was wonderful, and the gender change didn’t affect the show at all.
