Let's Go Diving! <more info> Wizards of the Sea There are wizards in our oceans. They don't look like the wizards that you know from Harry Potter movies, but they've got many of the same tricks. These wizards are octopuses. They can change shape, disappear in a puff of smoke, go invisible, use potions and poisons, dissolve into the ground, and put on spectacular color displays. Octopuses and their relatives have been on Earth for almost 400 million years, but very few humans come across them. Just like wizards, they are very good at keeping out of sight. <compete story> -National Geographic Kids News In Other News ...
