<p>On a California coast line today - I found an octopus « arm” mangled in a pier detached from the rest of the body. I am not sure what happened to the octopus (did it get stuck in a pump or a pier) or an animal attached and ate the rest of the octopus! I was intrigued the moment I saw it - and so I decided to foldscope the same. What a pleasant surprise. <br/><br/><br/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2Fb8d257a3-665d-447e-8819-6b7dc56cc24f%2F37b254ec-309b-40fd-91d7-28f723cb3d50.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=738919ec-2cd1-44df-8466-5b9511abfcb9"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2Fb8d257a3-665d-447e-8819-6b7dc56cc24f%2F53c90eef-7200-470a-861b-766656cb7a73.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=610201fc-b023-41ce-b4f9-5c68aad01061"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2Fb8d257a3-665d-447e-8819-6b7dc56cc24f%2Fb983978b-1755-49d0-b8e7-4627fd4865ba.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=1148612e-25e8-4828-b666-bceae92a54b4"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2Fb8d257a3-665d-447e-8819-6b7dc56cc24f%2Fe8c22f40-0eb2-4802-8b7f-30462549764c.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=23e4ec78-5f5f-4db2-a366-834dfb5b1a6c"/></p><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2Fb8d257a3-665d-447e-8819-6b7dc56cc24f%2Ff121527c-33c0-4d93-876b-4d130936fe99.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=7c1e98ad-34a4-4783-a119-95fec470b106"></iframe>
