That funnel-shaped opening beneath an octopus's head is called a siphon. The black fluid that it secretes when threatened is actually ink, which the octopus uses as a defense mechanism to create a cloud and confuse predators.
The scientific name for octopus is Octopus vulgaris.
The octopus eats meat, and is a carnivore.
In 2006 scientist found an octopus that 13 feet and another that was held in captivity got to be up to 600 lbs (270kg)
The telescope octopus, also known as the glass octopus, has a unique transparent body that allows it to blend in with its surroundings in the deep ocean. This transparency helps it evade predators and ambush its prey effectively. Additionally, its gelatinous body structure and lack of pigment help it remain nearly invisible in dimly lit environments.
It's alive unless it's dead, in which case it's not going to be an octopus for long.
If the octopus is threatened, it would spray some F##king ink at thge prey to stop it
