Octopus Escape Artist of the Sea
by Caroline ArnoldA New Home and a New Name
Recently, a new octopus arrived at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. It needed a name, so the zoo had a contest. The winning name was Pandora, which was suggested by a ten-year-old girl. She chose the name Pandora because it means "curious." Octopuses are famous for their curiosity.
Pandora is a young giant Pacific octopus that loves to explore her tank. Visitors to the zoo can watch Pandora as she swims around her tank looking for food and places to hide. Visitors can also learn how these eight-armed animals are experts at surviving in the oceans of the world.
