About the Octopus
An octopus is a soft-bodied sea creature with eight arms and no bones at all. Because it has no skeleton, it can squeeze its whole body through gaps barely bigger than its eye. Octopuses are among the cleverest of all animals without backbones, and they have three hearts pumping blue blood. Bright and many-armed, this one is a playful addition to an ocean unit or a counting activity where kids count all eight arms.
- An octopus has three hearts and blue blood.
- With no bones, an octopus can squeeze through very small openings.
