It’s World Octopus Day and today we’re celebrating our favorite underwater diva, Raspberry! 🐙

Did you know giant Pacific octopuses, like Raspberry, are the largest octopus species in the world? They’re also incredibly intelligent, can change color and texture to camouflage themselves, and have 2,240 suckers!

Want to make your own octopus? Join us for a special Science on the Spot today from 4:00 - 4:30 pm in our Pendulum Lobby, where you can use recycled materials to create an octopus to take home! 💙
