“RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!”

One of our awesome volunteers brought in this submarine as enrichment for the octos, and this little sea monster has had a fantastic time sinking the ship, causing chaos, and finding food while doing so! I love the simplicity of this little vessel as a form of enrichment, and the potential it holds for more complicated activities.

Just in time for Halloween: another video from our creepy collection! This beautiful blob—also known as the Japatella octopus—is guaranteed to make you feel, well, gelatinous. Or something. Check it out! 

And occasionally, thanks to our partners at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, we have them at the Aquarium. We’ll let you know next time we do!

Tentacle-Medusa Cecil Baldwin. 

I was trying to make sense of a person having tentacles on their body without it just being a lower body graft like a Cecaelia. In terms of basing this design of real octopusses, I was thinking of dumbo octopus for the floppy ears and coconut octopus for the lights/markings. So that I can be lazy with colour, he’ll have working chromatomaphores so that he can change the tentacles to any colour he wants. I haven’t narrowed down a species for the tentacles yet.
