This picture is a departure from my normal "image of the day" fare, but it is cute, so I hope you all can forgive me for sharing it with you.

One of the most famous perceptual demos is the ambiguous image or "bi-stable figure" of a duck - rabbit:
(source: curiouser.co.uk)
As presented, it looks like a duck, but rotated to the right, it suddenly "transforms" into a rabbit. There are also images that can transform simply based on how you…
Aw - sweeeet!
There's an oyster shooter you want to stay away from...
I was wondering why I was losing track of time.
A lack Cephalopods.
That is adorable.
What are those two animals next to the cephalopod?
What are those two animals next to the cephalopod?
Shrimp. Seafood cocktail anyone?
They look like freshwater shrimp to me. I used to have some in my fish tank.
Hmmmm. So, did it just find an empty shell to snuggle in, or, like the Slitheen, is it nestling in the empty leftovers of its latest victim?
that is desperately cute!
Adorable!
Is this an Amphioctopus sp.?
SO CUTE! Oh my goodness.
The horizontal pupil makes him or her look sooooo sleepy...

Ah, and to think I already did Mollusca for Principles of Paleo this year! This would have really freaked out the class.

He's dreaming, waiting for the stars to be right.
Reminds me of when the family was snorkeling in the Bahamas. The rest of us found shells but my son found an octopus nestled in a broken bottle.
Aww+
:-}
Cute Frunday-pod.
Damn PZ, you always manage to find the best Cephalopod pictures. My wife and I are heading for Cozumel again, shortly and we will be on the look out for Cephalopods again, among other sea based critters. Hopefully we will be able to send you and your readers some more pictures to gawk at over the Christmas break (Seasonal Break, Festive Season, Holiday Break,... or whatever people want to call the mass consumption holiday)
Uh-oh! Don't show this around too much, the anti GM-foods crowd will have a cow, which they might find a bit awkward to explain.
It's "lollusc" (or should be!) and the I can has cheezburger site already has a few.
Be sure to have a look at the little bonus video offered when you enlarge the photo, a walking cephalopod. Nice!
Looks like a teddy-pus!
Looks to be straight off wikipedia:

Cats always snuggle up in small spaces, too. But they are furry , and they purr, and you can pet them. Seriously, they are fascinating, but what can you do with a pet octopus?
What a widdle cutie!
Clear case of shell envy.
Oh, you're just a cute widdle cephalapodie!
Yes you are!
YES YOU ARE!
A bottle of nice warm milk would complete the picture.
Except that it might rather have a bottle of ink.

Whats the difference between a Phd in Biology and a extra large pizza?
The extra large pizza can feed a family of four.
awww...it has a comfy :)
LOL #16. My first thought was oooooo it looks so happy.
Tho coot!
Cozy 1 BR in nice neighborhood. Good schools. Close to restaurants and shopping. Make an offer.
I don't know if it's the same one here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1974843/one_very_clever_octopus/
Teehee, silly mollusc hiding in the shell of another mollusc.
Well, it's obviously just a harmless clam. At least, that's what the clam-eating octopus wants you to think. Especially if you're another tasty clam.
I can't believe how cute that is!
Awww!
Reminds me of the cuddly ball me and my dogs roll into every night as we drift off to sleep.
