Common Octopus

(Octopus vulgaris)

THE CRAFTY CRITTER

Diet

  • A variety of bivalves like clams, crustaceans, and fish


Agility

  • Squeeze through small crevices and other small and difficult places to escape from predators and hide

  • Can intake water and then shoot it out of their siphon (kind of like a tube) and it will propel them backwards through the water


Defense Mechanisms

  • Can let out ink when alarmed to distract their predator

  • Have a strong beak and can inject venom into their prey


Superpower

  • Can hide in plain sight by changing the chromatophores on their body which helps them camouflage within seconds
