How many legs has an octopus got?

Answer 1

An octopus has 8 tentacles. But marine scientists now believe that only 2 of those tentacles are actually used for walking and moving around. These are called as legs. The remaining 6 are used for feeding and other functions. Hence they are called as arms.
