Want to learn more about our California Two-spot Octopus!? 🐙

Like other octopuses, the California two-spot octopus can change colors in the blink of an eye using specialized cells in their skin! Octopuses are also solitary creatures and live alone in dens made from rocks. They build their dens themselves by moving the rocks into place with their powerful arms. These brilliant builders sometimes even build a rock “door” that pulls closed when the octopus is safely inside the den. 

Explore our Water’s Edge exhibit to witness this magical invertebrate for yourself!
