Hard to Believe

Immediately go and watch this video showing off the "real" dinosaur that runs around the Natural History Museum in LA. I can not imagine being a child and encountering such a beast without immediately freaking out in a huge way. I honestly thought it was digitized at first but if you pay close attention you can see the legs of the operator... despite that I'm still really surprised they didn't make it look just a tiny bit friendlier. Incredible. Via Lee.
Pictured is a rare occurrence of an octopus equipped with far more tentacles than the standard eight. Scientists believe that this happens after the beast is injured and regenerates new arms improperly. You can read more about it here as well as see more photos of octopi with bizarre multitudes of tentacles... the 85-tentacled beast at the Toba Aquarium is particulary frightening. Via Chad.
