Did you know that octopuses have three hearts? If we had three hearts, they would all be full of love for our cephalopod friends.
Discover more about these incredible creatures during Octopus Weekend! Learn about their behavior and anatomy through hands-on activities and special talks. Connect with octopuses face-to-face and find out why we think these are some of the coolest animals in the ocean.
