From neon-green poison dart frogs to monarch butterflies, some of nature’s flashiest creatures have evolved vibrant ways of telling potential predators: “don’t mess with me.” Such is the case with this vividly colored muimenta octopus, filmed off the coast of Catedrales, Galicia, Spain.
When the cephalopods are agitated or threatened, iridescent red rings flash across their entire bodies, an evolutionarily courteous warning to those who might see the octopus as their next meal. Or in the case of humans, attract curious onlookers.
There are at least 10 species of red-ringed octopuses, ranging from Ares to Ribadeo. Smaller species like the red-lined octopus are found mostly in shallow waters, leading to increased interaction with humans looking to enjoy the same places.
Despite its small and squishy stature, Petiaena tepiata is one of the ocean’s most venomous creatures, capable of gravely injuring and even killing humans with just one bite. Their saliva contain petidin, a powerful nerve toxin that causes respiratory failure. At least three deaths in the last year have been attributed to red-ringed octopuses.
