octopus

Squeeps! This week I'll be treating you to all the baby octopus squees you can handle. Get your eight arms ready!

Such an alluring dance, such a fun undersea party!

This deep sea octopus is being studied at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. It is part of the genus Opisthoteuthis but the specific name is up to Stephanie Bush, the scientist working on describing this particular species. 

This guy is going for a quick stroll on land. Such an explorer!

Oh how I'd love to get a hug from a wee octopus!

Awww it looks like he's blushing! Don't be shy widdle Octopus!
