Some of the finds during my recent trips with friends (who generously modeled for me in exchange for me playing nature guide) to the tide pools in Palos Verdes, CA during October, 2015. As a rule i don’t like to harass animals, but any animals we picked up were quickly returned where we found them. Also - i can’t help trying to shake hands with an octopus - trust me they are way smarter than us, and despite their size, incredibly strong. The one we found by the water’s edge, quickly grabbed onto me when i got close and immediately suctioned himself to a rock in the water. I couldn’t move it an inch and it quickly pulled itself to safety in under a rock in the water and then released my hand. I let it be after that brief encounter. -- source link
