Henry the Hexapus

Marine experts in England have discovered an octopus that is missing two of its legs. They have thus dubbed the creature a "hexapus" and named him Henry. Ordinarily, octopi have eight legs, and if they lose one in an accident they can grow it back. Henry's missing legs stem from a birth defect. This appears to be the first known case of an octopus born with only six legs. Henry was picked up from a local zoo along with seven other octopi for a new exhibit. No one noticed his missing legs until he attached himself to the inside of his glass tank.
