The whole species of octopus is not entirely endangered, but there are some subspecies that are endangered, threatened, or close to being endangered: The Giant Octopus, a giant but gentle octopus, is listed as "Endangered" on the ICUN Redlist.
Whenever it feels threatened.
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.
when it is threatened
They are not endangered. Nor are they threatened. They are in fact sensitive to polluted waters.
unicorns, bigfoot, beavcoons, hippogriffs, tree octopus, elves and trolls, etc...
Of the two species of elephant, the Asian Elephant is endangered and the African Elephant is currently considered vulnerable. There is some debate about the conservation status of the African Elephant. No octopus is currently on the Endangered or Threatened list, however little is known about the population sizes for most octopus species.
The pink animal that inks itself is likely referring to the octopus, specifically the common octopus, which can have a pinkish hue. Octopuses are cephalopods known for their ability to expel ink as a defense mechanism when threatened. This ink can create a smokescreen, allowing the octopus to escape from predators.
The blue-ringed octopus is a small but highly venomous marine animal found in the waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is recognized by its bright blue rings that appear when the creature feels threatened. The venom of the blue-ringed octopus is powerful enough to cause paralysis and even death in humans if not treated promptly.
An octopus squirts its black ink through a specialized structure called the ink sac, which is located near its digestive system. When the octopus feels threatened, it contracts the muscles around the ink sac, forcing the ink out through a siphon. This ink is composed of melanin and serves as a defense mechanism, creating a cloud that can obscure the octopus's escape. The ink can also irritate predators' eyes, providing the octopus with a chance to flee.
No they don't. They use chromataphores to make blue rings around their tentacles when they feel threatened. It is used as a warning sign.
