Animal Spotlight: Giant Pacific Octopus 
Giant Pacific Octopus
The Giant Pacific octopus is the largest octopus species known, reaching a weight of 150 pounds or more! This boneless invertebrate can move its body to open jars and even navigate any openings it can fit its beak through. With a highly developed brain and excellent vision, the octopus can use its body to solve puzzles and has been known to escape from sticky situations, so to speak!

Check out this master of camouflage in our Main Gallery and be sure to turn your camera flash off when snapping a photo!


You Can Help

Choose a green holiday! When deciding on a tree to decorate, consider purchasing a live tree which you can plant at the end of the holiday season. If each of the 10 million trees that end up in landfills at the end of the season were planted, over 480 million pounds of carbon dioxide would be removed from the atmosphere every year.


Membership: Sea Change
Unlimited visits are great. Free 4-D is quite a perk. Clean oceans are life-giving. The benefits of a Mystic Aquarium membership are far-reaching.  We seek change through conservation, education and research. You sea change with your membership. Click here to join now!
