If you asked me what my favorite animal was, I'd be hard-pressed to actually answer you- but eventually, I'd probably tell you it's the noble octopus. Everything about the various species of octopi is pretty amazing, from the deadly beauty of the blue-ringed octopus to the incredible talent of the mimic octopus- and let's not forget how clever they are.

But most people wouldn't say the octopus is cute.

Most people haven't met Ollie.

Please take note of Ollie's PIRATE EYEPATCH with a star on it for extra adorability. Marvel at his oh-so-fashionable red bandanna, embroidered with a jaunty ahoy! Gaze in awe at his plaid arms; sure, the giant pacific octopus can open jars, but can it do PLAID? I think not! Be taken in by his curiously cocked eyebrow, and when you think you've appreciated him enough, give him a good squeeze and witness for yourself the joy of squooshing a fuzzy octopus.

Then wonder why you've gone so long with an inferior favorite animal. Clearly the octopus is best.
