Did someone call for a cute bigeye octopus moment? 👀 🐙
Like most octopuses, the bigeye loves a homey hiding place and scrumptious shrimp snacks! Our aquarists use an acrylic rod to lure the octopus out for a little tug o' war and target practice. These enrichments are all a part of a balanced diet to keep our octopuses happy and healthy. What snacks make you feel happy?
The researchers used annual growth rings on the fish's scales to determine the age of individual coelacanths - "just as one reads tree rings," said marine biologist Kélig Mahé.
This October, I decided not to draw EVERY day, so I wanted to come up with a theme to tie all my octopuses together. I’m drawing 12 octopuses - one for each month’s birthstone! A touch of “rocktober," if you will.
Starting from the top of the calendar is January, with Garnet!
