Milwaukee, United States - February 21, 2025 On February 20, Milwaukee County Zoo unveiled a stunning video of their Giant Pacific Octopus, gracefully swimming through its aquarium. The captivating footage introduced the world to Flurry, a creature whose extraordinary abilities are nothing short of breathtaking. Accompanying the video, zoo officials shared jaw-dropping insights about Flurry’s unique talents. They revealed that this Giant Pacific Octopus uses her suction cups to taste and smell, a feat made possible by her eight arms, which house around 2,240 individually controlled suction cups. Even more astonishing, each of these suction cups contains more taste receptors than the human tongue, giving Flurry a sensory edge that defies imagination. Dubbed “Flurry Fun Facts” by the zoo, this glimpse into the octopus’s world has left an indelible mark, spotlighting the awe-inspiring wonders of nature thriving at Milwaukee County Zoo.
