California biologist tries to breed rare octopus in home aquarium ,[url=http://www.sorkan.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url]
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22 () -- San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences says it hopes to raise and mate a species of octopus so rare it hasn't yet been assigned a scientific name.The academy's senior biologist has set up a home aquarium to attempt to mate what is currently called the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus -- despite its name a rather small species of octopus.A 100-gallon aquarium in a spare bedroom in Richard Ross's Alameda home holds two females and three males that measure between 8 and 10 inches from the tip of one outstretched arm to another, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.The creatures were unknown to science until about 20 years ago, when a Panamanian biologist diving off the coast of Nicaragua first described them.Ross says if he is successful in mating and rearing enough of his rare octopuses,[url=http://www.huh456.com/]christian louboutin online shop[/url], he plans to move some into the Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences, "so the public can see those rare animals too."
