Once upon a time, there was an octopus-besotted boy named Cal who lived in the landlocked state of Oklahoma. One day, a special package appeared at his house: a small pet octopus, with bright blue eyespots on its head, that Cal named Terrance. Terrance turned out to be female — and pregnant. One octopus turned into 51, eight tentacles into 408. The boy’s father, Dr. Cameron Clifford, worked day and night to keep the octopuses alive.

Clifford documentó cada acontecimiento en su cuenta privada. Compartió videos de sus semanas de preparación, la llegada de Terrance justo a tiempo para el noveno cumpleaños de Cal y el descubrimiento de que Terrance había liberado una diminuta nube de huevos. Cal, que conocía de la biología de los pulpos, estaba desolado; en la mayoría de las especies, las hembras ponen huevos una sola vez y mueren poco después.

NEW YORK – Dogs cannot talk, but their body language speaks volumes. Many dogs will bow when they want to play, for instance, or lick their lips and avert their gaze when nervous or afraid. But people are not always good at interpreting such cues or even noticing them, a new study suggests. In the study, the researchers presented people with videos of a dog reacting to positive and negative stimuli, including a leash, a treat, a vacuum cleaner and a scolding.
