I never thought an octopus could be cute. Tentacled? Yes. Occasionally delicious? Sure. But cute? Never.
And yet, here we are.
A 6ft wide octopus named Louis at the Blue Reef Aquariun in Cornwall has grown very fond of a Mr. Potato Head toy he received for Christmas. So fond, in fact, that he attacks anything or anyone trying to take it away.
That’s pretty adorable, if vaguely slimey.
H/T to Boing Boing for this one.
And through it all, somehow, Mr. Potato Head keeps smiling.

Oh no, that is too cute!
