Here we are in 2018 with our first Friday Smorgasbord of the new year. While compiling some great stories, we noticed a bit of a dark theme emerging, therefore we dubbed this the “Death and Taxes” edition. Hopefully you will enjoy….
Octopus Gets Last Laugh
正如他们所说，生命中唯一的想法是死亡和税收。动物王国可能免于税收，但死亡可能躲在拐角处。举个例子，海豚和章鱼之间的这场战斗使两者都死了。您会看到，这种印度太平洋瓶颈海豚名字吉利根（Gilligan）认为章鱼会享受美味的享受，但决定吞噬它。这是命运介入的地方。章鱼在海豚周围包裹了一条触手，有效地窒息了动物。RIP小伙伴…

Taking a Bite
A woman from Port Douglas, Australia, was mauled by what may have been a trigger fish just seconds after jumping into the water and needed a skin graft for the gruesome wound. Julie Pochet had just got in the water at a local beach in late November when a fish bumped into her ribs. When the fish swam towards her she reached her hand out to touch it and it attacked, taking a chunk out of her hand. The 39-year-old described the creature as a dark-colored fish that looked like a wrasse and was the size of a parrotfish. Professor David Bellwood, a coral fish expert from James Cook University, suspects the fish was either a triggerfish or parrotfish, both are known to bite humans. Be careful out there!

Sunfish 1, Yacht 0
A racing yacht that sank in Australia may have met its match after hitting a large sunfish — a species that can grow over 3 meters in length. The yacht, called好莱坞大道, was heading back to NSW. The six sailors on board were winched to safety by helicopter amid high winds and swells as the 16-meter racing yacht sank in freezing waters, 150km east of Flinders Island.

怪物肆虐
海浪在北加利福尼亚州涌现，并在海岸造成了一些疯狂的海浪。实际上，他们在著名的大型冲浪现场小牛（Maverick's）的旧金山（Half Moon Bay）的边缘就产生了60英尺的海浪。前几天，海浪是如此之大，四艘船出去看着冲浪者试图骑巨大的隆起，但只有三艘船在倾斜后又回来了。
