The Amazing Octopuses

Hi! Do you want to learn about more interesting animal facts? Today we are going to learn about Octopuses.

I am writing about octopuses because I want to blog about an animal and also because I read a small book about them. According to an article the Giant Pacific octopus is a reddish-brown color. A mature female can lay about 180,000 eggs at a time. 5 different types of octopuses are reef octopuses; blue ringed octopuses, Giant pacific octopuses, common Atlantic octopuses, Finn deep sea octopuses, and many more.

One interesting thing is they have no bones. According to an article, octopus blood is blue. They eat fish, crabs, plankton and other foods. The octopuses live in oceans. Most octopuses live up to 3 to 5 years old. The top speed octopus can move is 25 MPH. According to an article, the first thing an octopus needs to swim is it draws water into its body. Next it pushes a jet of water out of a tube called a funnel, propelling itself forward. The harder an octopus pushes the water out, the faster it moves. Gropers, moray eels, sharks, and snappers eat octopuses.

In my opinion, octopuses are very fun to learn about, even if you think they are gross. Also I think they are cool animals because they can swim with no bones.

I wish I can talk to an octopus and ask them about their lives.
