Did you know that giant Pacific octopuses get “attached” to their aquarists—in a good way? These intelligent animals recognize our staff and may even embrace them after a long absence.
An octopus hug.
It’s true. They also remember people they don’t like - I read a fantastic article and one the things they talked about was that the octopus, Athena disliked an intern and would jet her with water whenever she got near the tank. She quit at one point because she had classes, but when she returned the following year, Athena remembered her and drenched her again.
I have to get me some octopus love
