In one of science's cutest recent discoveries, a deep-diving robot — associated with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (**AA) ship Okea**s Explorer (http://oceanexplorer.**aa.gov/okea**s/explorations/ex1603/logs/mar2/mar2.html) — has spotted what may be a new species of octopus

"The appearance of this animal was unlike any published records and was the deepest observation ever for this type of cephalopod." Read more...
