Found an octopus in my pocket!

Just thought I would share a little story from my Mexico trip last week.
On the first day of our holiday I took my little girls down to the beach for a walk. While exploring a tide pool, I found a seashell. I checked to make sure it wasn’t alive, than placed in my pocket. A few minutes later I put another shell in my pocket. To my surprise, there was something wet and slimy in my pocket. I thought it was going to by the foot from the live shell. However, it turned out to be a small octopus. I tried to place it back into the shell, but it just sat on the rim giving me the evil eye. I gently put him back in the ocean. I’m not sure how well he will survive that close to shore, but maybe he will swim out to deeper water. I,m glad I was in Mexico, 1000 miles away from home, because I would have been so tempted to put him/her in my tank (although I know what caos that would cause). Attachment 1057 Attachment 1056 |
that is too cool!:biggrin:

good thing it was mexico and not australia. A little blue ring in your pocket would certainly suck any fun out of your vacation.
|
well being dead kind of does that to any vacation, now doesn't it.. :razz:

I agree. If I was in australia I definitely would not have taken it out of my pocket with my hands.

hahaha cool story. it's so cute! We have a baby octopus in my lab at work who i named squiggles.
|
Wow that is very cool. Not something that happens every day!!
When I was 11 and visiting my sister (who lives down under) I picked up a shell from a beach near Taronga Zoo and put it in my pocket. Although it wasn't a bluering octopus that turned out to be hitching a ride, just a hermit. :lol: |
Very Cool, It'll be fine. He probably feasts on stuff trapped in the tide pools, and never goes out to the big open Sea.
|
Glad it was no blue ringed octo :mrgreen:
|
It didnt bite you? When I was on the west coast of the island I picked up one in a tide pool and it was about the size of a quarter and started to feast on my hand. Little bugger wouldnt let go and bit me about six times:redface: ... so now he is in his own little aquarium.
