Octopuses are cool sea animals that are located all over the Pacific Ocean. Octopuses are soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusks of the order Octopoda. There are 300 types of Octopuses, including the Dumbo Octopus, the Giant Pacific Octopus, Flapjack Octopus, and many more.  Octopuses are usually famous for their 8 tentacles. People who are scared of Octopuses have Chapodiphobia. 1/30 people are scared of Octopuses, so you’re not the only one to be terrified of them. I have never actually developed the phobia of Octopuses, but it’s okay to be scared of them. Did you know that Octopuses have 3 hearts, and blue blood?

Did you know that some types of Orcas eat sharks, but most scare them? Though many people think the great white shark is the ruler of the oceans, but orcas actually scare them. Only two species of orcas are known to eat sharks. If you've been to an aquarium,  you've probably seen one.                 Orcas are also called killer whales most of the time, because they hunt most of the species in the oceans.
