A giant turtle the size of a great white shark roamed the oceans around 80 million years ago, say scientists. It was one of the largest that ever lived - measuring more than twelve feet long and weighing about two tons. The remains dug up in the Southern Pyrenees, northeastern Spain, consist of a fragmented but almost complete pelvis and parts of the upper shell, or carapace. They date to the Campanian Age, between 83.6 to 72.1 million years ago. The new species has been named Leviathanochelys aenigmatica. |

Octopuses have three hearts: one arterial (or systemic) heart linked to two peripheral hearts that pump blood oxygenated by the gills. They also have nine brains, one main and eight secondary. In fact, each arm has its own nervous system. What’s more, two-thirds of an octopus’s neurons are found in its arms. |

With some 500 million neurons, octopuses are as intelligent as dogs. |

While human blood is red because it contains iron-rich hemoglobin, octopus blood owes its blue tint to copper-containing hemocyanin, a protein that helps oxygen circulate better at low temperatures. |

A fossil of the oldest octopus ancestor (a 10-armed vampyropod) was found to be more than 330 million years old. This discovery means that these cephalopods first appeared during the Carboniferous era, some 80 million years before the Mesozoic era in which reptiles and dinosaurs first arrived. |

The larger an octopus is, the longer it’s likely to live...up to a maximum of about five years. In fact, a single act of reproduction will sound the death knell for its brief existence. Common octopuses (Octopus vulgaris) live only about one year. Orphaned at birth, newborns suffer a high mortality rate. |

There are approximately 300 species of octopus in the world. The largest is the northern giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini). It normally grows to about 5 m (16 ft) long and weighs between 20 kg and 50 kg (45 lbs and 110 lbs). The largest individual ever observed was 9.1 m (30 ft) long and weighed 272 kg (600 lbs). The smallest octopod is the pygmy octopus (Octopus wolfi). Measuring less than 2.5 cm (1 in) long, it weighs less than 1 g (0.04 oz). |

THAT is how the 69 Machs looked. NOT magnum 500's, slats and spoiler. Those items were never available on 69 Mach 1's yet 99% of the ones you see today has them
