"The Dude" - Giant Pacific Octopus
I took a few pictures playing with my favorite aquarium pal, he is very special and it is easy to see why.
This is "The Dude", he is the second GPO I have had the opportunity to look after. Him and I have a pretty cool bond, and he is not shy in the slightest with me around the tank. He lets me pet him, and we have a few games that we like to play. He seems to enjoy contact with me, and will often ignore food just to hang out. Greeting me at the top of the tank: Holding my hand: When I splash him at the top, he covers his face and has even siphoned water at full blast right back at me! Cool sucker shots: He is smart enough to open jars to get his food, and can easily tell the difference between me and other people. Just thought I might share |

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Yup! It's the Discovery Center in Sidney.
Speaking of dogs, I even got him a dog "Kong". He loves his kong, and it's pretty cool to see him snake his arms through it to get treats. I'm on the lookout for a good sized toy tall ship. I would love a video of him sinking the ship to get food. Gimicky, I know. But hilarious. |
