Harbor seal playtime in our Great Tide Pool! Staff and volunteers were greeted the other day by these two curious critters running laps on an apparent inspection of our outdoor fa-seal-ities.
Thanks to staffer Phil for the video!
It’s been too long since I’ve posted an octo update, (or any update, really), and this feisty little lady has been up to some pretty cool things!
We recently got a set of hamster tubes to use for octo enrichment, and the set had a little blue lookout tower in it. Surprising everyone, our octo turned this sweet blue green color to match it! I had seen our reef octopus before her with colors like this occasionally, but never a common octopus. We also don’t have a lot of blue in that habitat, so she had no reason to be blue until her enrichment was blue! (She tends to be more rock/sand colored)
So, long story short: our lil kraken is still amazing and surprising and the best animal ever 🐙💜
