REALITY TV IN AN OCTOPUS'S GARDEN:
CAN CAMERA-SHY CREATURES BE VIDEOTAPED?
|
Full Story |
| |
In a marine science lab at Alaska Pacific University, juvenile octopus “Ocho” hunkers into her shadowy den, trying to hide from observers. The strategy is relatively ineffective here, against the glass corners of an aquarium in researcher David Scheel’s lab. But back home in Prince William Sound, the giant Pacific octopus pulls a far more successful disappearing act, only coming out of its den to feed. The habit makes it a frustrating creature to follow, especially in frigid Alaska waters. |
