Is she milking it? ;)
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

I thought it was some sort of cephalopodic midwifery.

BTW...this lil guy is just so cute I couldn't pass up posting his picture...






He isn't a cephalopod, but from a sister class of the phylum Mollusca, the nudibranchs.

I'd have taken that for a sea slug. But in that case it could have been quite dangerous to pick it up

Sea slugs are yet another branch of mollusks.  I gather that they and nudibranchs are closely related.  They are both classed as marine gastropod mollusks.

I think I met him once at a nudibranch beach. I never forget a ...whatever end I was looking at.

This picture accompanied an article from China about a squid that had swallowed a small bomb.  What the picture has to do with the story, I don't know.  Neither does PZ.
