Henry: World's First Hexapus
When the cat "Baby girl" has a gene defect, she was born with an extra feet. Imagine when an Octopus has a gene defect, how many legs will it have? Nine? No, it's six! British marine experts at Blackpool Sealife Centre recently discovered a never-seen-before six-legged Octopus, or 'Hexapus' which has been christened Henry.
"We've scoured the Internet and talked to lots of other aquariums and no-one has ever heard of another case of a six-legged octopus," said Carey Duckhouse, of the center.
The world's first six-legged Octopus was found in a lobster pot off the north Wales coast. The unique sea creature is believed to be the result of a birth defect rather than an accident.
