Octopus...the facts

Jump to newest

The environment and lifestyle of cephalopods means that they need to be capable of complex and flexible behaviour.

As active predators they need to explore, understand and remember their environment and the behaviour of other animals.

Studies have shown that octopuses learn easily, including learning by observation of another octopus.

They can solve problems, as when they remove a plug or unscrew a lid to get prey from a container.

They are the first invertebrates to be seen using tools, such as using coconut shells to hide from potential predators and using rocks and jets of water in a way that could be classified as tool use.

Common octopuses will collect crustacean shells and other objects to construct fortresses, or “gardens,” around their lairs. Other octopuses carry shells for protection.

The common octopus has a wide array of techniques it uses to avoid or thwart attackers. Its first—and most amazing—line of defense is its ability to hide in plain sight. Using a network of pigment cells and specialized muscles in its skin, the common octopus can almost instantaneously match the colors, patterns, and even textures of its surroundings. Predators such as sharks, eels, and dolphins swim by without even noticing it.

They have been found to play with a ‘toy’ and to have individual responses and individual temperaments, with some scientists believing they have individual personalities.

All octopuses are venomous, but only the small blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans.

I think octopus is nicer than squid to eat. Also, the argonaut octopus not only has a shell but the male also has a detachable penis.

Male octopuses have a big problem: female octopuses. Each male wants to mate and pass on his genes to a new generation. The trouble is, the female is often larger and hungrier than he is, so there is a constant risk that, instead of mating, the female will str@ngle him and eat him.

The males have a host of tricks to survive the mating process. Some of them can quite literally mate at arm's length. Others sneak into a female's den disguised as another gal, or sacrifice their entire mating arm to the female and then make a hasty retreat.

you left out the most interesting facts.

Yes natives who live

there catch the frogs and use the venom on any arrow heads or blow darts they use to kill their prey with like in new guinea is one place that comes to mind.
