Terrifying Encounter at Aquarium: Curious Octopus Clings to Child, Leaving Mystery Behind Bruises
So, picture this: you’ve been casually hanging out with your kiddo and their underwater buddy for years, getting those gentle tentacle hugs from an octopus at the local Texas aquarium—no big deal, right? Well, hold onto your hats because this story takes a wild turn when the octopus apparently decided it was time to trade in those friendly squeezes for a full-on, “I’m not letting go” kind of grip. Yep, 6-year-old Leo found himself in a sticky situation—literally—with suction bruises to prove it, and his mom Britney took the whole ordeal viral on TikTok. Now, was this an odd show of affection, an underwater warning, or just a cephalopod with a vendetta? There’s a lot to unpack here, from the aquarium’s “playful” defense to PETA’s sharp critique.

Britney Taryn has been taken to TikTok after she and her son Leo (6) had a harrowing experience at a Texas aquarium when an octopus latched on to her boy and refused to let go.
The two had been visiting and touching the sea creature for three years without incident. After a hiatus from their routine, they returned to the facility and were awed by its size, to the point that Taryn checked with the staff to make sure it was the same Octopus.
- A San Antonio aquarium visit turned traumatic when an octopus latched onto 6-year-old Leo and wouldn’t let go.
- The octopus reportedly changed color and suddenly started moving when it saw the boy again later that day.
- PETA has condemned the aquarium’s animal encounter program, calling it a “recipe for disaster.”
Little Leo is now walking around with string suction bruises running the length of his right arm.
