"Pea-sized.
A baby blue ring octopus is the size of a pea.
The octopus grows quickly, and at maturity the average adult is about the size of a golf ball.
With its tentacles spread wide, it measures about eight inches.
Despite its small size it still carries enough poison to kill a human.",
"Many eggs.
Giant octopus lay between 20,000 and 100,000 eggs in several days.
Females lay eggs in dens and tend them until they hatch.
Incubation takes up to 7 months or more.
Females do not feed whilst they are tending their eggs, and they will die when the eggs hatch or shortly thereafter.",
"Poor endurance.
In a struggle with another marine animal, an octopus will become tired easily.
This is due to the fact that the oxygen carrying component of its blood, (hemocyanin) is copper-based and is less efficient than the iron-based hemoglobin of humans.
A struggling octopus will therefore quickly become deprived of oxygen and become lethargic.",
"Sensitive touch.
Octopuses have an acute sense of touch.
The suction cups on their tentacles are highly sensitive to touch, the rim of the cups are particularly sensitive.
Using touch, a blindfolded octopus can differentiate between objects of various shapes and sizes, as well as recognize another octopus.",
"Brainy.
Octopuses have the most complex brain of invertebrates.
Research has proven that octopus have long and short-term memories.
They learn to solve problems by experience and trial and error.
An octopus can remember a previous problem and will solve similar problems in the same way.",
"Watch out!
The blue ring octopus has a tiny, parrot-like beak that can bite through a wetsuit.
It has two poison glands that secrete two types of poison into the saliva.
One type of poison is effective against crabs, its primary food source. The other is toxic and is used to defend itself against predators.
Researchers are unsure whether the octopus simply secretes saliva near prey, and waits for it to become incapacitated, or if it actually bites its prey.",
"Pretty.
The blue ring octopus has distinctive blue rings on its body and on all eight arms.
It is normally dark brown to dark yellow in color but changes to a vivid yellow with bright blue rings when agitated.
The blue rings are only visible when the octopus is about to attack.",
"Blue ring = poison.
The most venomous octopus is the blue ring octopus.
It is found in warm shallow coral reefs and rock pools off the coast of Australia.
It has a life expectancy of approx. 1 ½ to 2 years.
Only the blue ring octopus has poisonous venom (neurotoxin) strong enough to kill a human.",
"Many-varied.
There are over 100 different species of octopus.
The giant octopus is the largest, weighing p to 400 pounds and measuring up to 23 feet from arm to arm.
The smallest is the Californian octopus which is only 3/8th of an inch long.",
"Escape plan.
To escape predators, octopuses squirt purple-black ink into the water.
When threatened, an octopus will release a cloud of purple-black ink into the water to confuse the enemy and then quickly swim away to safety.
The ink is toxic to an octopus in a confined space; if the octopus can’t escape the ink it may become ill.",
"Mindful Mollusk:
An octopus' brain has three times the number of neurons than that of a human.",
"Escape Artist:
An octopus is capable of squeezing through holes the size of a dime.",
"The Ink is Mightier Than the Sword:
Octopus ink is toxic, even to itself.",
"Octopoison:
Australia is home to the only poisonous octopus in the world: the blue-ringed octopus!
Generally shy, this octopus won't hesitate to attack if it feels threatened, delivering a venom that can kill in seconds.
It is dark brown-yellow with brilliant blue rings which glow when the octopus it ready to attack. The glowing is a sign that it is making poison in its salivary glands.
The blue-ringed octopus is especially dangerous to children, who are attracted by the blue rings. Its poison attacks the neuromuscular system, preventing the victim from breathing.",
"Even Octopuses Get Migraines:
After an octopus drills holes in the shells of its prey with its parrot-like beak, it injects a paralyzing saliva.
The problem the octopus has with eating is a quirk of evolution, in which the brain developed surrounding the esophagus. What does this mean for the octopus? It must chew its food into a puree before swallowing it to avoid serious migraines.",
"Enemy-eel:
The octopus is a powerful creature, but it does have enemies. Living in the same type of caves on the reefs, the octopus and moray eel often encounter each other.
If a moray smells an octopus, it will poke its nose into the dark holes where the octopus is hiding until it is found. Once the moray finds its prey, it will surprise the octopus, clamping powerful jaws into its soft body.
An octopus will wrap its tentacles around the head of the eel, but an eel can tie a knot in its tail, moving it up until it pushes the tentacles off."];
