不识货！美国游客吃掉罕见六脚章鱼

After catching an octopus, holidaymaker Labros Hydras followed local tradition by killing it and taking it to a taverna to be served for his supper.

拉布罗·海德拉斯在希腊度假时抓住了一只章鱼，按照当地习俗他们把章鱼杀掉后送到小酒馆做晚餐吃。

That is when he discovered this was no ordinary specimen – it was a ‘hexapus’ with only six legs instead of the usual eight. The creature found during a snorkelling trip in Greece is believed to be only the second recorded worldwide.

直到章鱼做熟上桌，海德拉斯才发现这只和普通章鱼有所不同——不是普通的八脚章鱼，而是六脚章鱼。这只罕见的动物是游客在希腊潜水时捉到的，而且是迄今为止全世界发现的第二只六脚章鱼。

Father-of-two Mr Hydras, 49, took it to a local taverner where a chef cooked it and served it with tomato, lemon and a lettuce leaf. It was only then that he checked with a friend who is a biologist – and felt sick at what he had done.

现年49岁的海德拉斯先生是两个孩子的父亲，他捉住章鱼后把它带到当地小餐馆里，厨师把章鱼做熟，还和西红柿、柠檬、生菜叶子一起端了出来。直到那时，海德拉斯和他的生物学家朋友才发现这只章鱼的不同之处。海德拉斯对他之前的作为很懊恼。

The first known hexapus was found off North Wales in 2008 and taken to Blackpool Sea Life Centre. Nicknamed Henry, he was then released back into the sea where he has probably died of natural causes as their maximum life span is five years.
