Meet Adorabilis - the newest, cutest, fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand octopus in the ocean. He wasn't always called Adorabilis; in fact, when all the other sea creatures 'meet' him on the ocean floor, he's nameless! Those sea creatures know what's in a name: Anglerfish uses his hook like an angler, Mimic Octopus can change shape and colour, and Giant Squid is huge and powerful. But this little guy can't do any of those things. What will this adorable little octopus's name be? Backmatter will include a note from scientists about the naming process.
