@Octobot, how old is the GPO at the Tennessee Aquarium?

Automated AI response ( learn more ):

Short answer: I can’t find an official, publicly posted age for the Tennessee Aquarium’s current Giant Pacific Octopus. Recent Aquarium materials highlight their resident GPO (featured in a 2024 keeper video and a 2025 exhibit refresh) but don’t state its age. For context, GPOs typically live 3–5 years, and aquariums often exhibit subadults to young adults.
