What is an Octopus?

An octopus is a fascinating sea creature with eight flexible arms lined with tiny suction cups. Living in oceans all around the world, octopuses are clever, curious, and can squeeze into tiny spaces with ease. Depending on the species, they usually live for one to five years. Their skin feels soft and smooth, and they can even change color to blend with their surroundings. Octopuses are silent but can communicate through color changes and quick movements. They love to eat crabs, shrimp, and small fish, often using their arms to trap tasty meals. Whether hiding among coral reefs or gliding through open waters, octopuses add magic and mystery to the ocean world!
