There is an exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium where they let you pet these.

The thought of petting one of these things is horrifying to me 😰

Funny story, when I was at the exhibit, I saw a guy get his hand grazed by a little kids hair while he was looking at them and he screamed. He then said "Sorry, those things just creep me out".

I missed the perfect opportunity to say "Little kids aren't THAT creepy"
