Octopus (octopus spp)
Spread across 300 different species the Octopus is a soft limbed mollusc which has eight limbs to use. It is a bilaterally symmetrical animal and has two eyes and a beak. Thanks to its soft body the octopus can change shape and move around in between nooks and corners too. When they move around the eight appendages tend to follow them.
It is said that an Octopus has a complex nervous system but obviously good eyesight and thus are the most behaviourally diverse of all invertebrates. You will find an octopus in various parts of the sea like pelagic waters, coral reefs and the sea beds. Most of the species of octopus grow very quickly leading to early maturity and subsequent death.
Octopus has been aptly used in various forms of mythology and certain fantasy books as well. The entire world loves to eat the octopus but usually, the Mediterranean and Asian areas are true lovers of the same. Giant Pacific octopus has been found to be the largest of the entire octopus available. On the other hand, the Octopus wolfi is smallest with an average length of 2.5 centimetres. It also has an ink sac for protection which can be found under its digestive gland.
