海德拉斯先生出生在希腊,但现在是住在华盛顿特区的美国公民。他和10岁的女儿艾瑞迪、6岁的儿子亚利安一起在波利翁半岛抓住了这条六脚章鱼。
The mechanical engineer has given details to the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research in Athens to increase awareness of the wild hexapus.
这位机械工程师向位于雅典的希腊水族生物研究中心详细地汇报了情况,希望能提高人们对六脚章鱼的关注。
‘It is the least that I can do given my ignorance and guilt that I feel for killing such a rare animal,’ he said. Biologists said the hexapus is the result of a natal abnormality in a common octopus (octopus vulgaris), not a new species.
海德拉斯先生说:“因为无知我杀死了这么珍贵的动物,内心很愧疚。我现能补偿的实在是太少了。”生物学家说六脚章鱼是普通章鱼(八脚章鱼)的胚胎变种,而非新型物种。
Professor Matt Bentley, a marine biology expert at Newcastle University, said: ‘It is rare to find an octopus like this. There is every possibility it could have grown an abnormality in early development. There is nothing to suggest it is a different species. Another explanation is it could have been injured and healed over time.’
纽卡斯尔大学海洋生物专家马特·本特利教授说:“这种章鱼很少见,很可能是在早期发育时产生变异的结果。现在还没有证据表明它是一个新物种。另一种解释是,它原本有八只触手,但后来受伤断了两只,而伤口则随时间完全愈合。”
