Larger Pacific Striped Octopus
The larger Pacific striped octopus ( LPSO ), or Harlequin octopus, is a species of octopus known for its intelligence and gregarious nature. [ 1 ] The species was first documented in the 1970s and, being fairly new to scientific observation, has yet to be scientifically described. Because of this, LPSO has no official scientific name. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Unlike other octopus species which are normally solitary, the LPSO has been reported as forming groups of up to 40 individuals. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] While most octopuses are cannibalistic and have to exercise extreme caution while mating, these octopuses mate with their ventral sides touching, pressing their beaks and suckers together in an intimate embrace. [ 7 ] The LPSO has presented many behaviors that differ from most species of octopus, including intimate mating behaviors, formation of social communities, unusual hunting behavior, and the ability to reproduce multiple times throughout their life. [ 8 ] The LPSO has been found to favor the tropical waters of the Eastern Pacific. [ 2 ]
All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it
"Toutes les grandes personnes ont d'abord été des enfants. (Mais peu d'entre elles s'en souviennent.)" [All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.] Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Le Petit Prince." An impromptu game of "who can name the largest number?" is an example I often point to as a way in which young children teach each other about non-trivial mathematical ideas and facts, such as infinity and the concept of proof by contradiction (embodied in this case by one child eventually realizing that they can defeat any other child's guess by adding "plus one" to that guess, thus demonstrating by contradiction* that there is no largest natural number). Prematurely putting such games to an end by immediately providing the nominal goal --- for instance, providing these children with a brief lecture on infinity and the unbounded nature of the natural numbers --- defeats the entire "purpose" of such curiosity-driven play, insofar as play *has* a purpose: to explore, to learn, to develop, and to simply have fun. * - to be pedantic, this is a proof by negation rather than a proof by contradiction, but that distinction is not the point of the anecdote I wish to make.
