The octopus is a marine mollusc belonging to the order Octopoda. They are known for their soft body, long tentacles and ability to change colour and texture to camouflage themselves with their surroundings.

One of the most striking features of the octopus is its tentacles, which are equipped with suction cups. These suction cups allow them to cling to surfaces and catch prey. In addition, the tentacles are very flexible and can move with great dexterity.

Octopuses have a high level of intelligence and cognitive skills. They are able to solve problems, learn from their environment and use improvised tools.

They are also known for their ability to escape from aquariums by finding small openings.

As for their diet, octopuses are carnivores and feed mainly on crustaceans, molluscs and small fish.

They use their tentacles to catch and hold their prey, and then use their powerful beak to break the shells or shells.

Octopuses are solitary and nocturnal animals. During the day, they tend to hide in caves or crevices to protect themselves from predators and to rest.

They also have the ability to change the colour and texture of their skin to camouflage themselves with their surroundings and avoid detection.

The octopus has three hearts, blue blood, nine brains, eight arms capable of "thinking" independently on their own and two thousand suckers with which they can feel, smell, taste and use tools.
