Does octopus eat their own arms whenever in a stressful situation?
Female Octopus does eat their arms, not in a stressful situation, but while taking care of the unhatched eggs. It does so only for sustenance.
The female Octopus does not hunt during the roughly one-month period while she is taking care of the unhatched eggs. This is the time she may ingest some of her own arms. While the eggs hatch the mother is too weak to defend herself from predators like cod, and it often succumbs to the attacks.

No. The only solid, hard body part is its mouth, which is like a beak. That is why they can hide in really small spaces, like a jar or in a small hole. On PBS, in a laboratory, I saw a full grown octopus climb out of it's tank and go across to a tank of a fully grown shark in it. The shark tried to swim away, but the octopus wrapped its arms around it and with it's suction cups it held the shark still and started eating it. The scientists had said that they wondered why they were finding just the cartilage of the sharks in their tanks in the morning, so left a camera filming at night. No, they don't have bones, but in the water, they don't need them.
Why is Pacific Tree Octupus a hoax?
It isn't. The website was not only a haox, but also a joke. It said that one of the tree octopus' enemies was SASQAUTCH. Also, it never even mentioned this: HOW CAN AN OCTOPUS BREATHE ON LAND? Now, if you are talking about that expierement they did with a class of kids, it just shows how they will believe anything they read.
How do squids and octopuses move in water?
Octopus in particular have three different ways to move:
- they can use their arms to pull themselves along in a sort of crawl
- they can use their arms to swin a little
- and when they really want to move they can use jet propulsion, they suck in water and then push the water out of their mantle
One difference between the two is that the octopus is basically a bottom dweller while the squid is more free-swimming. So while squid certainly have arms, they don't use them to get around much.
- Squids have fins running along their body, that they use for swimming
- squids also have the jet propulsion option, with sucking in water and squirting it out.
How many dangerous octopuses are there?
The most dangerous one would probably be the blue ringed octupus ,which I lives in the great barrier reef, because of its deadly poison. Giant Pacific octopuses might also be dangerous because they are known to kill sharks that they share tanks with in aquariums. The day octopus is almost as big as a giant octopus except that it can float in the ocean and attack divers.
