Uh oh... Octo- and not the mom

Thanks to greyweirdo for the link.

Otto the octopus wreaks havoc

Key notes: "Otto had been annoyed by the bright light shining into his aquarium"
"juggling the hermit crabs" and "re-arranges his tank to make it suit his own taste better - much to the distress of his fellow tank inhabitants."

*laughs* We could all be in trouble...

Umm, further daily reading leads to:

Octopus floods Santa Monica Pier Aquarium
The mollusk diassembles a valve at the top of her tank, flooding the place with some 200 gallons of seawater.

This one is a girl.

She shouldn't be introduced to Otto. What I want to know is why his aquarium named him, but hers didn't name her?

And another one about a different octopus: An octopus at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium turned a valve located in her tank and flooded the place.

I, for one, welcome our eight-legged overlords...

That's pretty wild! I didn;t realize how intelligent they are!

I wish I had seen the crab juggling!!!

If Otto and the lady octopus (I was going for Octavia but then I saw there had been one already) ever bread, we could be in serious trouble!!

Flo is a pretty good name. I also think Olivia would be pretty.

Maybe the Santa Monica octopus is a minor and they're withholding her name for reasons of confidentiality, per the advice of their attorney? ;)

*gigglesnort* I can just see Otto juggling the hermit crabs! I can see them being very unhappy about being juggled too!
