F15b #14 Taxidermy Octopus
This is a baby Octopus that did not make it. I have him showcased in a glass dome that is approx. 6 1/2" x 5 1/2". Look how expressive he is! He would be great for a classroom presentations or just nice to add to your collection. I do have others that are done in fuller displays or done just as simply, check them out if you get the chance.
Species - Octopus vulgaris, the Common octopus. Octopus vulgaris, the Common Octopus, is found world wide in tropical and semitropical waters from near shallow shores to as deep as 200m. In actuality, most scientists believe that O. vulgaris actually contains a number of related sister species.
These specimens are all by-products of the seafood industry (specifically, left overs from a local fish market) and would have been thrown out to rot otherwise. No animals were harmed specifically for this product.
