Wow thats Crazy! That last Octopus was pretty cool. Now if only humanoids could do that. I think we still don't know anything about Under the water. We just don't have the guts to go down there...Why? Well I thinkwe must still think tehre are crazy sea monters that will come and eat our wooden boats ^-^

i think that it was very interesting and also that we still know almost nothing about the animals that live undrewater and i think that we should continue to study until we know all about the miraculous creatures that live in our oceans

i read an article about scientist using light to control porteins. they designed a hybrid protein by inserting a light-sensing protein from an oat plant into an enzyme. They now can control the amount of proteins being made.

I read a article about how red squirrels are becoming extit.However sceintist have found out that a number of red squirrels are immune to squirrelpox viral disease. Now the squirells are able to fight off the diease and live on. Dr. Anthony Sainsbury said that they tested if five free squirrels were immune to this infection and all five off them fought off the disese.

Well since I couldn't read the article, I found this cool article about how penguins are going decreasing in numbers. It said that because of our problems and our doings, we have hurt penguins in the artic and antartic as well as other animals and things living in that habitate. I heard that penguins were declining, but I did not realize it was because of our wrong doings. The climate change is getting warmer and melting the ice and the penguins can't live in the water all the time.

I think that was amazing how an octopus can blend in with its surroundings. That would be awesome if more animals or even if a person could do what an octopus could do!
