Octopus

Ohio History

Not Your Typical Sea Creature!

 Entering the Bizarre & Beautiful area of aquariums, this octopus almost startled me. I had never seen one in real life, and my goodness, are they weird! This one must have been at least two feet in diameter, excluding the legs. See all those suction cups on its legs?  The first time we came through the octopus was just hanging from the glass by those suction cups, all squished up in the corner. But when we came back later, it was actually moving around! The octopus had two separate tanks with a glass tunnel connecting them, about a foot in diameter. The octopus proceeded to pass through that tunnel, one leg at a time, squishing and squirming like a rubber ball filled with jelly! I definitely wouldn't want to share a room with this thing.
