Octopus
The Octopus is a sea animal with eight
powerful feet which it uses as hands. These are called tentacles. The word
“Octopus” comes from two greet words that mean “eight feet”.
The octopus, the squid and the cuttle�� sh belong to the same family that
has no outside shells. Their bodies are covered entirely with skin. Therefore
the body of an octopus is soft. It looks like a big balloon. A fully-grown
octopus can be as large as 8,5 metres from the tip of one tentacles to the tip
of another. It can weigh as much as 45 kilograms.
Besides using its tentacles to catch
small fish, sea plants, crab and lobsters, the octopus also uses them against
its enemies. The octopus wraps its tentacles around the victim and squeezes it
before eating it
The octopus escapes from its enemies
by giving out a thick dark fluid to darken the water. It can also change the
colour of its body to match its surroundings. It hides from its enemies by
doing this.
