We can safely say that one thing you would never expect to see in a car park is a live octopus.
You could probably argue that you there is a slight chance you’d see one if it was an aquarium car park, but even then the chances are slim to remote.
However, this octopus managed to get lost somewhere along its journey and ended up slap bang in the middle of the concrete floor of a parking garage in Miami Beach, Florida.
Actually, it wasn’t his fault – it was actually this week’s supermoon that was to blame as it caused higher tides.

James Thomas explained to the Miami Patch: ”Due to the flooding underground or underground systems, as the tide rises you could have sea creatures making their way through the system (and) through pipelines.”
Florida resident Richard Conlin took the photos of multi-limbed visitor, who revealed that there was a happy ending.
He wrote on Facebook: “Security from the building filled a bucket with seawater, rescued it and placed it back in the bay.
”I spoke to them this morning and they said they believe it got away safely.”
Yesterday we introduced you to one of our special boys- Goose. As stated, Goose suffered an injury presumably from an aerial predator on June 16, 2015, at just 2 months old. While in treatment for his injuries, Goose’s round-the-clock care included feedings every four hours, designing a specially furnished room, and providing him with a battalion of stuffed animal surrogates.
During this time, the staff also began taking Goose for special acupuncture appointments followed by cold laser therapy treatment. While he did not regain function of his paralyzed leg, he did regain motion in his toes, allowing him to grasp objects. On July 8th, the staff watched as Goose was reintroduced to his family. It was a happy day for both staff and lemurs as his family readily took him back. Tune in again tomorrow for another update on Goose’s road to recovery.
