An octopus displayed at the Dauphin Island Sea LabA Dauphin Island Sea Lab octopus wrapped its tentacles around a skull for Halloween in 2021.

The Dauphin Island Sea Lab got into the Halloween mood by sharing a video of one of its octopuses wrapping its tentacles around a skull — a fittingly spooky bit of cephalopod behavior for the holiday.

The Sea Lab works with partner organizations to educate the public and study the local marine environment along the Alabama Gulf Coast. The playful clip offered a lighthearted look at one of the more charismatic residents of its aquarium.
