Have you ever ridden a horse? Or an camel? Or wondered what it might be like to ride on those eagles like a hobbit?
Well, photographs from the UK coast reveal that it's not just people who might get a thrill out of an unusual ride, as they appear to show an octopus passenger clinging to the fin of a Risso’s dolphin.
Bill Coulson, a Risso’s Dolphin Project South West project volunteer, was taking photos when he captured the three images of the dolphin with the
octopus.
Risso’s dolphins (Grampus griseus) are typically found in deep waters and have a diet that is made up mostly of squid, though it seems the individual in the photograph might have developed a taste for octopus.
A report by the Marine Biological Association has been looking at the
increase in common octopus populations off the coast of the south west of the UK since last year. In 2025, the south west saw the largest bloom in population numbers for common octopuses in at least 75 years, explains the report.
你騎過馬嗎？或騎過駱駝？或是想過像哈比人一樣騎在鷹背上會是什麼感覺？
英國海岸的照片顯示，不僅是人類會從不尋常的旅程中獲得刺激，照片中似乎顯示一隻章魚乘客緊緊抓住瑞氏海豚的鰭。
里索海豚計畫西南分會的志工比爾·庫爾森在拍照時拍下了這三張海豚和章魚的照片。
瑞氏海豚（Grampus griseus）通常生活在深海中，主要以魷魚為食，但照片中的這隻似乎已經愛上了章魚。
英國海洋生物協會的一份報告一直在關注自去年以來英國西南部沿海普通章魚數量的成長。報告解釋說，2025年，西南部沿海普通章魚的數量出現了至少75年來的最大規模增長。

“These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the feeding ecology of Risso’s dolphins and the changing marine environment around our coasts. Risso’s dolphins are closely associated with cephalopods, and sightings like this help us understand how they are responding to changing prey availability,”explains University of Exeter MSc researcher Josh Symes in a statement.
The report revealed that the bloom impacted fishing communities in the area, since octopuses consumed brown crabs (Cancer pagurus), European lobster
(Homarus gammarus), and king scallops (Pecten maximus), all of which are sold commercially in the south west of the UK.
“We’re still seeing lots of reports of octopus across southwest waters, and understanding what’s driving these changes is an important area of research,” said Dr Bryce Stewart, Senior Research Fellow at the Marine Biological Association.
“Observations of interactions between Risso’s dolphins and common octopus help to demonstrate how shifts in the abundance of a species can ripple
through the wider ecosystem. It’s a powerful reminder of how interconnected our marine environment is and why we need to continue studying it.”
「這些照片讓我們得以一窺瑞氏海豚的覓食生態以及我們海岸周圍不斷變化的海洋環境。瑞氏海豚與頭足類動物關係密切，像這樣的目擊事件有助於我們了解它們如何應對獵物數量的變化，」埃克塞特大學理學碩士研究員喬什·西姆斯在一份聲明中解釋道。
報告顯示，藻華對該地區的漁業社區造成了影響，因為章魚會捕食褐蟹（Cancer pagurus）、歐洲龍蝦（Homarus gammarus）和扇貝（Pecten maximus），而這些海鮮在英國西南部都有商業銷售。
「我們仍然看到很多關於西南水域出現章魚的報告，了解這些變化背後的原因是一個重要的研究領域，」海洋生物協會高級研究員布萊斯·斯圖爾特博士說。
「對瑞氏海豚和普通章魚之間互動情況的觀察有助於展示物種數量的變化如何波及更廣泛的生態系統。這有力地提醒我們，海洋環境的相互聯繫是多麼緊密，以及為什麼我們需要繼續研究它。”
The bloom in octopus numbers is likely to provide new feeding opportunities for the Risso’s dolphins; these results reflect the impacts of warming
oceans and marine heatwave conditions, which can shift the distributions of different species and cause changes in feeding patterns and behaviors.
“The images also highlight the value of citizen science, as observations from volunteers are helping us build a clearer picture of marine wildlife across the south west,” said Symes.
章魚數量的激增可能會為瑞氏海豚提供新的覓食機會；這些結果反映了海洋變暖和海洋熱浪的影響，這會改變不同物種的分佈，並導致覓食模式和行為的變化。
「這些圖片也突顯了公民科學的價值，因為志工的觀察正在幫助我們更清晰地了解西南地區的海洋野生動物，」賽姆斯說。
Elsewhere in the world, in 2023 an octopus was recorded “riding” a shark in Hauraki Gulf near Kawau Island in what was described at the time as a “
mysterious sight indeed” by the University of Auckland.
The scientific phenomenon of animals truly hitching rides on others is called phoresy. In these cases, the rider gains some kind of benefit while the
animal being ridden doesn't gain anything, but doesn't lose anything either.
It's not clear that the octopus ride really counts as an example of phoresy, however – as we said, it may just be that the Risso's dolphin fancied an eight-tentacled snack.
在世界其他地方，2023 年，有人在豪拉基灣卡瓦烏島附近記錄到一隻章魚「騎」在一條鯊魚身上，奧克蘭大學當時將其描述為「確實是一個神秘的景象」。
動物搭乘其他動物的這種科學現像被稱為「搭便車」。在這種情況下，騎乘者會獲得某種好處，而被騎乘的動物雖然沒有得到任何好處，但也沒有失去任何東西。
章魚騎乘是否真的算是寄居的例子還不清楚—正如我們所說，這可能只是里索海豚想吃點有八條觸手的零食而已。

這次又得罪哪位大神？連豬都當不成變章魚了XD
如果不是人變的，說不定是在暗示章魚原先的基因鎖鬆了，逐步演化中，
第一個目標就是拿下英國也說不定？
Iä Iä, Cthulhu fhtagn!
