LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A rare octopus from the tropics has surfaced in Southern California, scooped up by a fisherman off the coast near Los Angeles, marine aquarium officials said.
A rare sight in the region because it normally lives in tropical and subtropical waters, the female argonaut octopus, commonly called a paper nautilus, is recuperating at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro, the Los Angles Times reported Thursday.
