No- they'd break their beaks if they tried! Giant octopus are strong, but not so strong as to be able to do THAT. Instead, octopus make their homes in undersea burrows beneath rocky clefts, small underwater caves, and anywhere else that can provide shelter, including the wrecks of sunken ships. Contrary to popular belief, they are not dangerous to humans and tend to be very shy of them.
Indeed it does :)
No, they are dangerous they are the only poisonous octopus and a bite from one can kill you.
They are very deadly, they dont bite they squzze. :)
The Blue Ringed Octopus, and any other octopus, bites with its bird-like beak, although the Blue Ringed is one of the most venomous animals on the planet.
To kill it you bite, stab or smash its brain between the eyes, immediately killing it. The octopus skin then turns white when its dead.
In its natural habitat, an octopus catches and eats fish by using its tentacles to grab and immobilize the prey. The octopus then uses its beak to bite and tear apart the fish before consuming it.
Tetrodoxtin is the type of toxin contained in blue-ringed octopus saliva, the same type of poison that puffer fish have. A milligram or less, about a pin-head amount, is all that is needed to kill an adult human.
Yes, an octopus has a mouth located on the underside of its body. It uses its beak-like structure to bite and tear apart its food before swallowing it. The octopus then uses its muscular arms to bring the food to its mouth for consumption.
Techincally speaking, octopi do not sting - they bite. And the one you would be thinking of is the small Blue-Ringed Octopus, found from Japan to New Zealand (but they are most commonly found in coastal regions of Southern Australia). Point of interest - all octopi have a venomous bite, but only the Blue-Ringed octopi's bite is fatal to humans.
Ants and spiders have no relation to each other. They are both invertebrates. That is about the only similarity. Some ants bite and sting, but spiders only bite and are venomous. Ants are actually part of the wasp and bee family of insects (six legs) while spiders are arachnids (8 legs).
Blue Ringed octopus, Day octopus, and Giant octopus. Blue ringed octopuses are small sized, but have deadly toxic that can kill a fully-grown man. Day octopuses are large and can float to attack divers. Giant octopuses are the largest species that can kill a human with a beak bite.
The poison is not injected but is contained in the octopus's saliva, which comes from two glands each as big as its brain.Although the painless bite can kill an adult, injuries have only occurred when an octopus has been picked out of its pool and provoked or stepped on.
