Octopuss

Octopuses live in oceans and seas around the world. They have eight arms, no backbone, three hearts, and a jumbo-sized brain. They can do some amazing things. They can squeeze their bendy bodies into narrow cracks, change color in a matter of seconds, and outwit predators with a clever disappearing act. They’re smart, too. They can learn new tasks and later remember what they learned. That’s something that even we humans sometimes find challenging! Small, Medium, and Large Some species of octopus live in shallow water while others live in the deepest parts of the ocean at depths up to 5,000 m. Most species stay close to the seafloor. One of the smallest species is the California Lilliput octopus, which measures about 2 cm across, or about the width of a bottle cap. The common octopus is a medium-sized octopus. A typical size is about 50 cm, or roughly the size of a large pizza. One of the largest, the giant Pacific octopus, can grow to a whopping 9 m. It’s so big that with its arms stretched wide it would barely fit into a two-car garage. Octopus on the Menu People have probably been eating octopuses as long as they have been eating fish. Octopus is still an important food for many. People all over the world eat octopus, but it is especially popular in Japan and in European countries such as Greece, Portugal, and Spain. People often cook octopus by grilling it, but it is also used in sushi, salads, stews, and rice dishes.
