A “new” species of octopus may be named Opistoteuthis adorabilis
because it’s cute, although the decision is still up in the air. The
tiny cephalopod from the depths of the ocean was first collected 20
years ago, but the honor of naming the species goes to the first
scientist to classify and thoroughly describe it. That job went to
Stephanie Bush of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
