chelsea Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ahhh, what a nice story to read in the news, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 wow I love octopusses (octopi? octopus... what ever, them 8 legged things wih suckers ) I think they are so clever, I saw a programme of some marine biologists doing some form of testing on one (not nasty testing - just educational stuff) and this little octopus managed to get the lid off the tank and escape when no-one was looking (except the camera man, who filmed it all, then told the marine biologists ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 How cute. I always go to the Blue Reef Aquarium when we go to Newquay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 isn't it nice to know that they care about the mental stimulation that Louis gets, that's so cute I love to tickle the rays whenever we go to places like the sealife centre, they do seem to love human contact.

little chickadee Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 That's so cute! Our local zoo does a lot of enrichment stuff with the animals to make sure they get a bit of mental stimulation too but I've never seen a mr potato head!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 That's a lovely story . I must show it to my 13 yr old son who wants to be a marine biologist when he grows up (if there's anything he doesn't know about sharks, I'd be surprised ).

Rhapsody Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think it shows how far we've come in our thinking on animal welfare if a squid is being considered this way. As 'enriched' environments are very much in the chicken news I thought it appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
