Monterey Bay Aquarium

Happy World Cephalopod Day! 🐙This sucker for adventure feels its way through the world!

With thousands of chemical receptors and millions of texture receptors packed into each sucker, the giant Pacific octopus has a real sense for exploration.

Our aquarium biologist, René, shares a unique bond with the amazing animals in his care. Delve into one of our most-viewed YouTube videos to learn how René engages with our giant Pacific octopus using target training and other unconventional enrichments like a sea-cret morning salsa music routine! 💃🏻

There’s wonder in ocean life and caring for it helps us all!
