Meanwhile in the world of octopi
The one thing 9-year-old Cal Clifford wanted more than anything from the time he was a toddler was a pet octopus. The boy’s family in rural Oklahoma humoured him with octopus toys, but as Cal got older it became clear that only the real thing would do.
The child’s father, 36-year-old dentist Cameron Clifford, researched the possibility with a local aquarium store and before long Terrance the California two-spot octopus, also known as a bimac, moved in.
A popular TikTok saga was launched, with the father narrating the tale of Terrance the cephalopod, using a faux British accent generated by the social media app.
The tale took an surprise twist when Terrance laid around 50 eggs. Several weeks after that, teeny near-transparent octopus babies began hatching and were given names like Rocket Larry, Squid Cudi, Swim Shady, Jay-Sea and Sea-Yonce.
