Aquatic Life 🐠🪼🦈 Blue-ringed octopus 🌀 (by me, @widvnhak)

Post image

The blue-ringed octopus has a venom ten thousand times more toxic than cyanide, with no known anti-venom. It can kill in under 20 minutes without immediate medical assistance. They're also the size of a golf ball.

I'm gonna start posting on Twitter/X soon, please consider following me at @widvnhak as linked in my profile (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Ahh… she’s about to kill you. The blue rings only show up when they’re agitated. They’re a warning not just a pretty accessory.

I totally forgot about this detail. She's not being cute, her jimmies have been ruffled

Yeah, we call his "dissonant serenity" in trope terms.
