Regarding this week, some surprising news.
Cientists have discovered a all new potential world of species in Antartica. One of the main discoveries was a white octopus, (see image) with 2 foot long (0,6 m).
It is not yet known what the little creature eats, but scientist Copley says that the team filmed the animal walking around the sea floor which can be highly revealing of its eating habits and its environmental needs.
Copley also said that "The back four tentacles sort of shuffle like the treads of a tank, while the front four feel in front of the octopus," Copley said.
"We weren't able to collect any specimens—they were quick and rare—but they're quite possibly a new species."
Can't wait to know what this super new and rare white creature eats and its forthcoming importance in the balance of the Cosmos status. more photos here

By the way, regarding octopus I guess biodiversity is being well provided with some late discoveries.
Last year, a new octopus specie was found, in Canada : a Purple one more here
