And now, I should really do my homework. :P

Octopus love at my local aquarium.

I'm sorry I missed this - Buster was a joy and a half to watch a few months ago, when I was at the aquarium for class stuff. I've never seen such an active and engaging octopus. ♥

It is slightly misleading the way the article refers to Buster getting released to her "new home" under the pier coming up soon. After they hatch their young (which is what Buster's being moved/released to do, now that she's (hopefully) mated), female octopuses die. I wish it weren't the case, particularly with Buster - she's so fun to watch, and I really got the impression that she was a very curious, clever, inquisitive beastie during the times I've watched her. With all their awesomeness as they are, I do wonder what octopi could accomplish if they had longer lives and the opportunity learn from their parents. But that's not the way most animals are.
