Information about the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus:

The Larger Pacific Striped Octopus is a species of octopus native to They have been much in the news because of their behavior, which is so different and in many ways contrary to what is generally held to be our common understanding of what is believed to be standard octopus behavior. This species appears to thrive in captivity, will breed in a tank filled with other individuals, and mate beak to beak, all of which is contrary to normal octopus behavior. Tanks can even have more than one male, which again is highly unusual. The species does not yet have a scientific or binominal name. They are currently being studies at the California Academy of Sciences and University of California at Berkeley.

Artist’s notes:

The Larger Pacific Striped Octopus was completed on 9.25.2013. These charming and beautiful cephalopods have taken up residence at the California Academy of Science, in the hallowed halls of the Steinhart Aquarium. I had the urge to draw this octopus knowing it was only recently discovered – 1991 I believe – and also because it has mentioned in the media many time recently for it’s curious behavior, so unlike most other octopus we know. The drawing is based on a photo by Dan Hershman and was used with his permission.
