California Octopus Can Tweak Its RNA to Adjust to Warmer and Cooler Waters | KQED
Briefly

Too hot (with a fever) or too cold (with hypothermia) and our brains sputter and begin to fail - and that's just several degrees off the norm.So our bodies keep everything at a steady temperature.Octopuses don't have that luxury.Their brains require just as much safekeeping as ours, but they're in squishy bodies swimming in water whose temperature can fluctuate by some 20 degrees.
