Up Close at the Visitor Center

Video
A smiling 8-year-old blond boy has his hand on the glass side of a large aquarium tank, as if to touch a brick-orange octopus on the other side of the glass.

“Up Close at the Visitor Center”

Audio:
Bright, jazzy music plays under the scene.

Video:
The boy traces the movement of the octopus tentacle with his finger on the outside of the glass. Seen close up the tentacle’s suction disks move gracefully in the water.

The boy puts his hand into the tank and touches the tentacle, gently exploring the suction disks with his fingertips.

Seen from the side, the boy’s fingers lightly approach a single disk, which seems to extend toward the fingers.

The picture fades to black as the jazz background ends with a flourish.
