This 96-tentacled Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is permanently on display at the Shima Marineland Aquarium in the town of Shima, in Japan. Caught in 1998, the specimen actually has the normal eight tentacles, but each one branches out to form multiple small extras. The “surplus tentacles” is believed to be the result of abnormal regeneration after some injury.
