Kathryn introduces me to Lucy.
凯瑟琳把我介绍给露西。
This is our female octopus Lucy and she is probably about 2-1/2 to 3 years old.

She is close to about 40 pounds and she is pretty active this morning.
她将近40磅，今天早上很活跃。
I think she knew you were coming.
我想她知道你要来。
Is she always swimming around like this?
它总这样游来游去吗？
So um they tend to be den-dwelling animals out in the wild.
所以，它们往往是在野外生存的巢穴动物。
So during the day they are going to be denned up and sleeping.
白天它们会睡得很香。
They are active at night and early in the morning,
它们在晚上和清晨都很活跃，
and early evening so it's pretty early in the morning here, so she is out and crawling around.

So these guys love crabs.

We have some dungeness crab for her this morning so when she settles down we can give her some crab and see if she'll eat it.
今天早上，我们给它准备了一些大便蟹，等它安顿后，可以给她一些螃蟹，看看她吃不吃。
She is showing off a little bit, this is kind of a hunting behavior for them.
她有点炫耀，这对它们来说是一种狩猎行为。
When they're out and they're looking for crab they're going to swim and they'll actually balloon down onto their food, trap it,
它们外出寻找螃蟹时，会游过去，然后像气球那样落到食物上，捕获它。
they will release a toxin that will paralyze the animal so that they can now take it apart piece by piece and eat that crab.
然后，释放出一种毒素，麻痹动物。这样它们就能一块一块地把螃蟹拆开吃了。
While Lucy is giving us a show, there's another octopus in the tank just chilling out.
露西表演时，水箱里还有一只章鱼在放松。
Let's see this other guy over here that you're got.

It's time for Odie to be fed, so Kathryn is going to give him a big delicious crab! We've got some Dungeness crab here.

This is food fit for people. This is human grade food, yup, these guys eat better than we do here at the aquarium!
这是适合人们食用的食物，人类可以吃。对，这些家伙在水族馆比我们吃得好！
We climb up to the top of the tank, and Kathryn suggests I give Odie the crab.
我们爬到水箱的顶部，凯瑟琳建议我把螃蟹给奥迪。
If I were to feed him, what would I do, exactly?
如果我喂它，我该怎么做，确切地说？
You want to just put him on his sucker disks. Really? So if I just go like this...
你想把它放在吸盘上，真的吗？所以如果我就这样做......
Should I just drop it? Yes, you can just give it to him. He will take it.
我应该把它放下吗？是的，你可以给它，它会吃的。
Now he has lost interest in the light, hopefully.
