In Oklahoma, Cameron Clifford has a son that loved octopuses so much that he bought a female one for his son as a pet. That octopus ended up laying 50 eggs, all of which hatched. After a huge investment of time, research, money, and house space, they’ve managed to keep around half of those octopuses alive…which has been met with admiration and astonishment from scientists they’ve spoken to about how to best care for the cephalopods, which are all being kept around the house in individual tanks, causing damage from spilled water and electrical fires along the way.
