Researchers have discovered four new species of octopus in Antarctica with venom that works at sub-zero temperatures.
They hope to analyze the venom to see if it has medical uses, said one of the researchers, Bryan Fry, of the University of Melbourne. Their discovery, during a six-week expedition to Antarctica in 2007, was published in the journal Toxicon.
