Octopus

The average life span of octopuses ranges from six months to 4 years. Since the Dumbo octopus is a deep-sea animal, little is known about their lifespan, but it is assumed that it would be longer. They skip the vulnerable larval stage and deep-sea critters seem to be longer lived.

yes they can but they cannot eat the shell

OCTOPUS HAVE A BILATERAL SYMMETRY BECAUSE IF IT IS CUT IN HALF THE OTHER SIDE WILL BE JUST LIKE THE OTHER IT WILL BE LIKE A MIRROR VIEW

Baby octopuses look just like an octopus right out of the egg.

Yes, it is actually a common food in some countries.

It can spray ink. Also, some species have rings that can glow to scare off attackers.

probably but if it is no then hide it from the feds lol

They are not. Filter feeders are things like blue whales that passively filter plankton from the water as they swim. Octopuses are predators that hunt other creatures living on the sea floor.

A devilfish octopus eats crabs and other things.

A dumbo octopus (an octopus of the genus Grimpoteuthis) has earlike fins sticking out of its body, but a regular octopus does not. The dumbo octopus also has webbing between its tentacles.

Humans eat octopus in many cultures. The arms and sometimes other body parts are prepared in various ways, often varying by species.

Octopus is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, including sushi, takoyaki, and akashiyaki.

In Korea, some small species are sometimes eaten alive as a novelty food. A live octopus is usually sliced up, and it is eaten while still squirming.

There is no such thing as a tree octopus. It is a fictitious organsim, just like the jackalope of the western United States.

Yes, more or less. It comes from the Greek okto "eight" and pous "foot".

Octopuses are mostly carnivores, although some species are omnivores. For the most part an octopus feeds on clams, mussels, shrimp, crab, and things of those size.

Their diet typically consists of small crab and shrimp, but they may also feed on fish if they can catch them. They pounce on their prey, paralyze them with venom and use their beaks to tear off pieces. They then suck out the flesh from the crustacean's exoskeleton.

Because an octopus really hasn't got a "body", it only consists of head and arms. Much of the stuff that we have in our chest and belly (like the stomach) the octopus has in its "head".

Ringed seals eat invertebrates and fish like cod, squid, shrimp, and crustaceans.

Adults feed on crabs, clams, snails, small fish, and even other octopi. They use sharp parrot-like beaks to crush the shells of their prey. Newly hatched octopi are small enough to hide among plankton (small or microscopic organisms including algae and protozoa), so their food, equally small, consists of copepods and larval crabs.

An octopus is a creature of the ocean and belongs to the fish( or pisces)

vent crab (bythograea thermydron )

Octopus communicate with each other by the movement of their body and the change of body colors.

they have no bones

The octopus is a mollusk, a cephalopod of the order Octopoda.

Not sure of the exact amount, but there are two rows of suction cups on each tentacle

there are 240 suction cups on each tentacle. Altogether there are 1920 suction cups

It's important to distinguish between arms and tentacles. Tentacles have suction cups only at the tips. Octopus have arms and have suction cups along the length of the arm.
