NEW! Octopus Takes Underwater Pictures For Conservation Fund

Should I be impressed or depressed that an octopus can take pictures comparable to my own photo gallery? And what do you call an octopus photographer? An octographer? The octographer in question is a female octopus named Rambo who lives at Kelly Tarlton's SEA LIFE Aquarium in Auckland, New Zealand. Animal trainer Mark Vette taught Rambo to take pictures using a Sony TX30 underwater camera. Rambo learned the process after three tries. Visitors to the aquarium can have their picture taken by Rambo for $2. Proceeds go to the SEA LIFE Conservation Fund, an organization dedicated to the protection of marine wildlife and conservation. Watch Rambo in action here, created by FCB New Zealand.
