Comforting Preemies

Behavior
Miscellaneous
by Edward Hessler

University of Minnesota-Morris biologist, PZ Myers features a Friday Cephalopod on his widely read blog, Pharnygula. I love this feature (and I also like and admire the blog).

I'm not going to imitate this but I offer an alternative, an interesting one behaviorally. Preemies appear to benefit with a crocheted octopus to snuggle with.

I don't think this would surprise him and hope he'd be pleased.
