New on the Animal Toy Blog. Blue-ringed Octopus (3D Picture Book Poisonous Creatures by Toys Spirits): https://animaltoyforum.com/blog/blue-ringed-octopus-3d-picture-book-poisonous-creatures-by-toys-spirits/
"The blue rings do have a notable error where the centre should be either yellow or brown depending on which part the body is. Because of that, I am unsure which species to identify this figure as"

Understanding the #octopus and its relationships with #humans
A new #book tracks the human fascination with octopuses across centuries. Scheel's in-depth research and relationships with these #indigenous peoples showcased in his book illustrate a strong passion for #cephalopods that readers will undoubtedly enjoy. Many Things Under a Rock speaks to avid octopus fans and the broader audience interested in the intersections between #science, history, and #folklore. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/understanding-the-octopus-and-its-relationships-with-humans/

The Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year shortlist is out. This is one of my favourite nature photography competitions, & this year has cute mudskippers, snippy crabs, otherworldly cephalopods, & a fluffy rainbow of bee-eaters.
