An Oklahoma family's life has taken a "tentacled" turn after acquiring an octopus as a pet, only for her to surprise them with a ton of babies. Cameron Clifford shared the unexpected journey on TikTok, saying, “Surprising my son with an aquarium so he can fulfill a lifelong dream of owning a pet octopus.” However, two months after welcoming Terrance, she laid a clutch of eggs.
The family's efforts to care for the babies have drawn widespread attention, with many marveling at the occurrence. Now, with a local reptile scientist's help, the Cliffords are navigating the waters of octopi parenthood while on a desperate search for a professional caretaker for the new babies.
