Octopus

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? Two of the hearts pump blood through the gills; and the third pumps blood through the whole body. Being boneless is pretty astounding. Since Octopuses don’t have bones, they can fit through almost any tight space. Octopuses also squirt ink at other predators to defend. Then there will be a black cloud ink and “Wham” the Octopus is gone.

Octopuses are so intelligent that scientists use them for experiments. Octopuses are known to open cans and bottles with their tentacles. 

Fun Facts:

Octopuses lay more than 100, 000 eggs a year. Most of them die because baby octopuses are as big as grain, so many fish and predators have the chance of eating them

The Giant Pacific Octopuses weigh more than 600 pounds.

Only the Blue-Ringed Octopus is dangerous to humans, so don’t be scared.

Octopuses are mostly 90% muscle.

The Giant Pacific Octopus can inhabit depths of up to 5,000.

Octopuses are among the most intelligent animals, along with an elephant.

Octopuses can fit through spaces as small as a penny. Eww…

Under the sea, there are so many amazing animals, the Octopus is among one of them. The poor remnant Octopuses that live in the ocean, please save them...
