“He’s tiny! It’s blue!”
Scientists from the Charles Darwin Foundation have discovered a brand-new species of octopus nearly 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) beneath the ocean floor near the Galápagos Islands. About the size of a golf ball, the tiny blue octopus has short stubby arms and a single row of suckers ( it’s going viral now despite being found in 2015) https://t.co/zaFNSti3nh

Scientists have described a remarkable new species of octopus so small it could fit in the palm of your hand. Named Microeledone galapagensis, this deep-sea creature was found at depths of nearly 5,800 feet (1,773 meters) off the Galápagos Islands.
The tiny octopus was first spotted in 2015 during a deep-sea expedition using a remotely operated vehicle near Darwin Island. Its striking deep-blue coloration, rounded golf-ball-sized body, and short arms adapted for crawling across the sandy seafloor immediately caught researchers’ attention.
Specimens were collected and sent to octopus expert Janet R. Voight at the Field Museum in Chicago. Using advanced micro-CT scanning technology, the team created detailed 3D images of the animal’s internal anatomy without damaging the delicate specimens. This non-invasive approach allowed scientists to examine its organs, mouthparts, and nervous system in extraordinary detail, ultimately confirming it as an entirely new species.

Should Run!!!
A reporter from Stars and Stripes made the trip to Ichikawa Zoo. 🐒She wrote: "Monkey Mountain requires no map. Punch has turned this small zoo into a pilgrimage site. "People are taking trains from Tokyo. Flying from America. Traveling from across the world. For one tiny monkey who doesn't know any of this is happening. He's just up there on his mountain — playing with rocks. Living his life. And somehow — that is more than enough to bring the whole world running. 🤎✨
An octopus about the size of a golf ball was first spotted in 2015 near Darwin Island. A new study gives it both a formal description and a name. https://t.co/PNvoPfgF2W

Personally, scenes like this warm my heart and eyes so much ❤️#father duty .☕️
Moments that make dopamine and empathy gently knock on my heart…
I love them.❤️❤️
Team Alex shared this beautiful story,
so I wanted to pass it on too.
HE STAYED ALL NIGHT
KOSUKE NEVER LEFT
Kosuke Shikano stayed.
He fed Punch every two hours through the night.
He held him when he cried.
He kept him warm against his chest.
He slept on the zoo floor so Punch wouldn’t wake up alone.
There were no cameras that night.
No viral videos.
No hashtags.
Just one keeper and one tiny monkey who needed someone to decide he was worth staying for.
Kosuke decided.
And because of that one decision — on that one quiet July night —
Punch is still here. 🤎🌙
