Wild

Zavala in Croatia boasts a gravel beach that is home to a fascinating creature – the beach octopus. This wild beach is the perfect habitat for these intelligent creatures to thrive. Beach octopuses are known for their impressive camouflage, which allows them to blend seamlessly into the rocky seabed. They are also skilled hunters, using their eight tentacles to catch prey such as crabs and small fish. Observing these creatures in their natural habitat is a rare and incredible experience.
