Possible New Species Discovery

Meet Arturo. He's not from around here. No one is really sure where he is from. Whether he is a mutant or a new species has yet to be determined. He appears to be a cross between the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and Tyrannosaurus rex. He was found stranded on a remote Chilean beach after a local fisherman alerted authorities that he had been rescued and brought ashore by a mysterious tentacled beast. Arturo measures twenty-five feet across from tentacle to tentacle. He is currently being held at the Santiago Zoo while researchers determine what to do with him. Because of Arturo's unusual physiology, the scientific community is hard-pressed to get their hands dirty and learn more about this magnificent creature.

There was no available enclosure for Arturo, so he was placed in the
same tank as a dwarf  humpback whale, a colossal tuna, and a herculean
shrimp. All three of these creatures are part of the Misterios Biologicos
del Mar (Biological Mysteries of the Sea) exhibit. The three
headed eel escaped earlier this month.

Arturo seems to be enjoying his temporary home. The dinosaur-
octopus crossbreed was seen canoodling with Ingrid, the
herculean shrimp, behind the rare spagetti coral specimen.

The rainbow spouting dino-ocoptus known as Dinopulpo
was thought to be an invention of ancient Chilean
mythology. Scientists and Chilean mythologists
are reconsidering the facts. Arturo has yet
to be spotted expelling rainbow beams.
