Octopuses beat the cold by editing genetic material in less than a day' study
Briefly

Octopuses are able to survive cold temperatures by editing their genetic material in less than a day, scientists have found.Researchers have discovered that the creatures are able to make changes to their RNA a complex molecule essential for life within hours of being exposed to cold water.Previous studies have shown that squid and octopuses can edit their genes but this is the first time scientists have established how rapidly these changes can occur.
