Amazing thing that I saw today. Thought I would share it. Nothing to do with MGs so in "furry friends" I thought it must be a triffid or something :-?

Looked very alien and had a bad smell :-?

But after a bit of googling it is a Octopus Stinkhorn

When I was taking the pics a I had a little genuine fear that something was going to jump up and insert itself down my throat. Maybe I watch to many movies
