A couple of the best science pics of 2008:
Photo Of Squid Tentacle Suckers
array of suckers found on the tentacles of a long-finned squid. Each sucker–about 400 micrometers wide (a little smaller than the width of a human hair)–is surrounded with "fangs" of chitin, a hard organic material. The colour scheme on the photo is based on the plant from The Little Shop of Horrors.
