10 reasons why the octopus is one of the most incredible creatures in the sea

Octopus is part of the earth's most extraterrestrial creature. With 8 arms, over 1,000 suckers, 3 hearts, they are different from any other animal you might want to meet

More importantly, they are very clever - very clever. About 95% of the animals on Earth are invertebrates, I wonder who is the wisest: octopus!

In order to deepen the understanding of this marine life I wrote ten of the most exciting facts I learned when reading Catherine Harmon's courage, "Octopus!" Then tell your friends!

Recently, researchers have found a very unique type of octopus. This species, known as India - Malaya turkey, can change its shape, shape and color pattern to mimic or imitate other marine organisms to avoid predation (2). Octopus imitation is noteworthy. Other types of cephalopods are not known to have the ability to mimic. Octopus is not limited to imitation. Researchers observed up to eight different strata. Replacement takes place depending on the appetite, the closeness of the environment, and the predator encountered by the octopus (1). When analyzing octopus formation, behavior, predators, it is important to isolate the origin of this unique and highly intelligent defense mechanism. Is this a means of development of protection or evolution, is it possible to make cephalopods better survival means?

Octopus occasionally uses aggressive imitation to attract prey, but their main use is to avoid their own predators. Octopus is food for jellyfish, stingrays, sea snakes, minocasses and toxic fish. In order not to be discovered, octopuses will change the characteristics and behavior of the predator, color, shape, and swimming speed and direction to blend into the surrounding environment. The only fish is flat and fast swimming so octopus pulls its tentacles to the leaves and uses jet propulsion to match the predator's speed. However, when facing the sea snake, it will spread the two tentacles in the opposite direction to match the shape of the snake, turning the color of the body into yellow and black strips.
