octopus

So when I took my marine biology class, we got to look at some wet specimens. Which are dead sea creatures (Or should be) before they are put into a 50/50 solution that will stop them from rotting away. I was so excited when I saw we had an octopus. I really want one that has washed up on shore and is dead and has been preserved. So when I saw this I was really excited. I need one for my collection someday. But isn't this so cute? I thought it was. And it was neat too because you can still see all of its suction cups.

But yes, this is on my I need to get it some day list.  But I want enough space and know I can put it somewheres safe, and not in direct sunlight, or make our vegan roommate uncomfortable.
