Thousands of dead octopuses have washed up on a beach in northern Portugal, in what is being called an environmental disaster.
They cover a 5-mile stretch of Vila Nova de Gaia beach - no reason has yet been found for their appearance.
The authorities have warned the public not to eat them.
MEANWHILE: WELLINGTON: More than 120 whales died over 48 hours in two separate beachings in New Zealand, the Department of Conservation said on Monday.
More than 20 pilot whales will be buried by Coromandel Maori on Monday after dying when they became stranded on Sunday.
Sixty-three whales, mostly cows with calves, beached themselves at Colville Bay, north of Coromandel township in North Island.
The 3-4 meter whales were seen by fishermen struggling about 300 meters offshore around 6 a.m. and they called emergency services

“The authorities have warned the public not to eat them.”
Good thing they told me because normally when I find something laying around dead, I start thinking “what can I fry up to go with this”?
OCTOPI!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Jackie Gleason died a good number of years ago.
Some scientists think there may be an increase in volcanic activity. I suppose this could be related to magnetic core movement.
We are certainly at the peak of warming and that could indicate a plunge into much colder climates as it has for the last 400,000 years.
LOL, Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
I wish they would get over whales being holy and just go ahead and harvest them when they beach.
Ew.
Only to a barbarian.
"octopuses" is the vulgar form.
The correct form is "octopodes"
Please do not insult Jackie by inferring that Rosie looks like him....
Actually if you stuck a Sherrif’s outfit on her,they could make a new Smokey and the Bandit movie..LOL

So what, the last octopus I got all worked up about was in a James Bond movie.
That reminds me of what happened to a buddy of mine.
He had a big off shore racer type boat. One day while at anchor, he was below deck with his date ‘showing her the layout’, when it felt like something ran into them. He looked out into the cockpit and saw the biggest fattest Sea Lion he’d ever seen sitting on the engine cover.
Coast Guard said they’d have to wait it out.
