A common octopus with 96-"arms" or 8 arms and 88 appendages was discovered in Matoya bay in Japan (1998) - The octopus weighed 3.3 kilograms (about 7 lbs) and measured 90 centimeters (3 ft) long
The preserved octopus, on display at the Shima Marineland Aquarium, actually has the normal number of 8 arms attached to its body, but each one branches out to form the multitude of extra appendages. Apparently there is no theory that fully explains the surplus of growths, but they are believed to be the result of abnormal regeneration that occurred after the octopus suffered some sort of injury. This isn't an isolated case-- the Toba aquarium nearby has various extraordinary octopus specimens on display as well - wild huh?

It's probably exactly that. Other regen animals have the same thing happen sometimes. This guy prolly has a mutation making it more likely

Motoya Bay is nearly 400 miles away from Fukushima. Conspiracy theorists, get on the case. I want to see what you come up with.

Holy phalange!
Titanxo
Are the Octopi able to use these individual appendage by themselves or do they curl as the whole arm curls?
OfMiceAndMenus
Well OBVIOUSLY this is from the radiation from Fukushima! Who said it's not dangerous? Pssht... (/s I can clearly see it was in 1998)
PeteTusk
Wait till they start levitating and getting larger.
herbertcamacho
Yep, Japan never had any radiation before then. /s

Mutant radioactive monsters off the coast of Japan? Who saw that coming?

Was found in 1998

your point?

Fukishima so radioactive it go through time! We need to stop it!
kongfuchicken
In other news, officials continue to reassure citizens that rumors of the great radioactive leak of 98 are all fake! More after the weather.
LooseyGooseyBrett
Japan's been radioactive since the mid 1940s
thundercactus
Ocean currents push water from nagasaki and hiroshima up towards matoya bay. Not the worst theory, just has a tiny sample size.
GorgeFloyd
I'm sure that's totally unrelated...
thundercactus
the majority of dangerous isotopes from the bombs would have decayed by now. Even the ships used in nuclear bomb testing are safe now.
GorgeFloyd
No shit? I thought they had a huge half life. How about fukushima?

Oh i thought that was a reference to the nuclear incidents from a few years ago
FloodingWaters
there were also a couple other "nuclear incidents" in Japan a little bit longer ago than that.

Nope. A short lived sitcom with Seth Green. She was dressed like that to impress Japanese investors at their video game co. I think.
