Nature 52'

Aliens of the Deep Sea

A soft boneless body, two enormous eyes that take up a quarter of its weight, eight tentacles of which one is a sex organ, brain and intestines in a single pouch, and a tearing double beak: This carnivorous predator can change shape and color at will, walk on land and sea, and cross through fire. It can grow over five metres long and is amazingly intelligent!
