Octopus Prankster
LOL those octopuses, always the jokesters of the aquarium. This latest prank by a meddlesome octopod in a southern California aquarium will be the talk of the “water” cooler for months!

200 gallons of saltwater on the floor and it makes national news… sheesh I can do that all by myself.
I am reminded of the story of the mother octopus caring for her eggs. The eggs didn’t hatch and she would not leave them, so they started to drain the tank. Even when the eggs were exposed out of the water, she would not leave them. The eggs began to hatch and naturally they filled the tank back again.

Is it just me or are links hard to see, almost matching in color with the rest of the text?

Links are hard to see, I agree. I’m working on it. Having jut moved yesterday into a new house I won’t be doing any non-essential fixes for a little while. But its on my list!
