Daily News | A new octopus at Adventure Aquarium came armed with a mystery
If you’re a sucker for a good octopus story, the Adventure Aquarium’s new cephalopod resident arrived last month with a mystery nobody can quite wrap their arms around.in Camden by their new sister facility, the Vancouver Aquarium. When Charlie arrived, staffers discovered the octopus was missing about half of its third right arm.
Biologists will only be able to determine Charlie’s sex when they either die and a necropsy is performed, or when Charlie lays eggs, Roberts said. The aquarium’s last octopus, Europa, laid her eggs late last year and went into senescence shortly thereafter. It was tough for Roberts, who’d saved Europa’s “gothca” date in her phone and taught her tricks — like how to go into a laundry basket to be weighed — during the “sassy” octopus’ two years at the aquarium.Charlie, who is 17 pounds and believed to be about a year old, is still warming up to their new environment but has started to come to Roberts and some of her assistants when they approach.
