Wow. In those pics that octo looks like it means business... 20,000 leagues under the sea business. Did you get to feed or play?

Wow! Those pics turned out even better than I expected! I'm so glad she was out and exploring the tank. I love how you can see the visitors' faces through the front glass, but the first is my favorite. And yes Jason, that is a Kong dog toy - one of the many little enrichment items we give the octopus to play around with.

 

Rik's camera is awesome - no housing!?!?!

 

Cheers

Do you put treats inside of the kong?

 

I've heard dogs like it, an octo might like it too.

 

Very cool pics!
