Well - the octopus was pretty cute too!

And you should have seen the eels - they were like kittens as they rose to the surface of their tank to be petted. They had the most gorgeous blue eyes!

What a beautiful creature! (both nephew and octopus! lol)

Imagine that we share this world, mankind and animals and fish and all have one source and look how extremely different we have turned out. Fascinating really. Beauty!

CG - octopus are such cool creatures, and I was surprised to learn that this octopus does not live past 2 years old which seems a shame that such a beautiful intelligent creature wouldn't live longer. Diving with them can be a memorable experience.

My nephew has no fear - everything is a constant source of wonder and intrigue!

SS - yes, both of them are rather gorgeous! I agree with your comment - it is amazing.

(((dxb))) - thanks for the comments on our blog energy!

No - the eels aren't the electric type. They feel soft and a bit slimy, but they seem to like the contact. There are also warning signs all around the tank that they will bite, so we were very careful!

Will post a photo of them.
