Which animal has three hearts, eight arms, and donut-shaped brains? You guessed it, an octopus, of course!
You guessed right – an octopus, of course! Have you already met the octopus living at SEA LIFE? Octopuses are solitary animals that go hunting at dusk. They eat a wide variety of prey, such as crabs, crayfish, and even other molluscs.
WOW!
Octopuses are masters of disguise, as they can change the color and texture of their skin to match their environment. So, look closely into the tank to spot the hiding octopus.
WOW!
An octopus has three hearts! Two of these hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third heart pumps blood to the rest of its body.
WOW!
When an octopus feels threatened, it can release a cloud of black ink to obscure the attacker’s vision and buy time to escape. The ink can also impair the predator’s sense of smell, making it harder to track the octopus.
WOW!
Octopuses are considered among the most intelligent invertebrates. They have strong problem-solving skills and can even open screw-top jars, as long as the contents are tempting enough.
