photos | bristol aquarium

Having not gone to an aquarium since I was about four, the prospect of going to Bristol Aquarium was a little too exciting for me. It was great and a good opportunity for some good marine snaps ;) I have to admit, I was a bit scared of some of the fish... especially the octopus. Interestingly enough, a 27kg octopus can squeeze itself through a 2 inch gap... and if that wasn't creepy enough, cctv footage has been taken of the octopus climbing out of it's tank at night, eating the fish in other tanks and returning back to it's own tank before staff come back... O.o Also, they have bright blue blood with the consistency of jam which requires 3 hearts to pump it round the body... I think it's safe to say I'm afraid of them now!
