Octopus attacks child at San Antonio Aquarium, mother alleges

An Alamo City mom maintains that a giant Pacific octopus attached her 6-year-old son on a visit earlier this month to the controversial San Antonio Aquarium. The alleged attack took place July 14 when mother Britney Taryn visited the Leon Valley aquarium with her son Leo. In a TikTok video, the mother said she and her son are regulars at the aquarium, which features an open-air tank, where guests can touch the octopus without supervision.
