Favorite Animal of the Month – Common Octopus!

Some fun facts I love about Octopus-

240 suckers on each tentacle

A 40 lb pull is necessary to release the grip of a 3 foot octopus!

Their suction cups can also taste and feel texture

They have excellent eye sight

Their inking technique is used more for smell confusion of eels rather than visual confusion.

A 30-40 lb octopus can crawl through an opening the size of a half-dollar!

The mouth of their cave home is often surrounded by a pile of shells of things they’ve eaten, which is called a midden heap.
