R.I.P. Mr. Octopus
Mr. Octopus passed today.
It was a great adventure for both him and the rest of the Pope family. I have gained must respect for these creatures. Smart, intelligent, playful and curious all wrapped into one. For those of you who had the opportunity to observe Mr. Octopus you know exactly what I mean. (Seeing an octopus in a large aquariums like Ripley's give you no real basis of understanding the uniqueness that these creatures truly possesses.)
Mr. Octopus was a part of the Pope family for over 9 months, a little longer than what expected. Rescued from sea nets off the coast of SC, Mr. Octopus gave us a great adventure in aquatic world. We have learned a lot from the experience and look forward to passing our knowledge onto others in the form of conservation.
Mr. Octopus – You will truly be missed.
