Painting is a skill not many have, but is something almost anyone is capable of doing. Apparently some animals enjoy the art form as well, as an aquarium in Florida is now giving away paintings created by one of their octopuses.
The Aquarium shared video of the octopus creating the artwork recently, sending the sea creature into viral fame.
As seen in the viral clip, aquarium employees help guide Farallon the octopus towards the canvas, where it uses its tentacles to spread the paint. The canvas is covered in plastic, serving as a barrier between the paint and the octopus’ suction cup tentacles. “No better way to wrap up #CephalopodWeek than with an octopus enrichment painting session. Comment below your favorite thing about octopuses to be entered to win this octopus painting!" the aquarium said in their now viral post.
According to Fox News, Farallon the octopus just recently picked up painting. Proving art is subjective; some online were more impressed by the artwork than others. Maybe one day someone may make some money selling the original octopus painting.
