Phew! I’m glad there was a glass between you and the snake.
Nothing else on earth is like the octopus. they like to take things apart. There is a famous story of one 100 yrs ago in Brighton Aquarium in England. An octopus there got out of its tank at night when no one was watching, went to the tank next door and ate one of the lumpfish and went back to his own tank and was sitting there the next morning. The aquarium lost several lumpfish before they figured out who was responsible
Poor lumpfish! 😕 Octopus are much more intelligence than you would think by just looking at them
