About this deal

The octopus is classified as a cephalopod, along with other animals like squid and cuttlefish. Cephalopod refers to animals who have limbs attached to their head. In this sense, the octopus is said to have eight tentacles. The eight limbs are commonly referred to as tentacles. Although now there are arguments on the fact whether all the limbs should be called tentacles or not. octopus". Oxford English Dictionary (Onlineed.). Oxford University Press.

Retrieved 19 April 2017. Another study suggests that two of the octopuses’ arms are mainly used as legs while the remaining six are employed for other important functions such as feeding. According to this study octopuses have two legs and six arms. Cirroctopus hochbergi, a species found off New Zealand, is endangered because its population size is low and its habitat has been damaged by trawling. Other facts

If an octopus does get caught — no problem. They can lose arms and regrow them, according to National Geographic. Octopuses weren't always squishy creatures. The ancestors of octopuses and squid sported hard shells. A study published online March 1, 2017 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences revealed these marine animals lost their hard "mobile homes" in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. This shell loss likely helped the ancient relatives of today's octopus, squid and cuttlefish become more agile to evade predators and nab prey, the researchers said. Three hearts

Indeed with their big eyes, curious nature and famously moody characters – one recent study found they deliberately throw rubbish at other octopuses – the creatures can seem strangely human. Young, R. E.; Vecchione, M.; Mangold, K. M. (1999). "Cephalopoda Glossary". Tree of Life web project.

Octopus presents its certificate as a client certificate so the Tentacle can verify the identity of Octopus. Ferrier, M. (30 May 2010). "Macho foodies in New York develop a taste for notoriety". The Guardian . Retrieved 15 April 2015. The Haliphron Atlanticus is a sizeable octopus species widely known as the seven-arm octopus. One might assume from the name of this octopus, which is to be found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that it only has seven arms. The truth is that the male seven-arm octopus only appears to have seven arms. The eighth arm of the males is used for reproduction and is coiled in a sac beneath its right eye. This is the reason why the species have acquired this misleading name but in fact, even the seven-arm octopus is characterized by the existence of eight limbs. How Many Arms Are You Missing Today?

of octopus is quite a lot just for me to consume, but octopus freezes extremely well, and I usually freeze either fresh or boiled pieces for later use. Incidentally, freezing fresh octopus and thawing it makes the octopus meat tender. Even stranger than hook-filled clubs are the lengthy filaments boasted by vampire squid ( Vampyroteuthis infernalis). Vampire squid are the only cephalopods that spend their entire lives in the ocean's lightless oxygen minimum zone, which occurs about 656 to 3,280 feet (200 to 1,000 meters) under the water's surface, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California. Because vampire squid live at such extreme depths, they're challenging to study — researchers discovered the function of their filaments only in 2012, as detailed in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Regardless of whether Tentacle is in listening mode or polling mode, all communication between the Tentacle and Octopus is performed over a secure ( TLS) connection. Octopus and Tentacle both have a public/private key pair that they use to establish the TLS connection and verify the identity of the other party.Stamper, Kory. Ask the editor: octopus. Merriam-Webster. Archived from the original on 30 April 2013 . Retrieved 26 June 2013. No matter what, when octopuses mate, they die soon after. During reproduction, a male delivers sperm by inserting a specialized arm (usually the third right arm) into the female's mantle cavity, according to the World Animal Foundation. Sometimes he literally hands her the sperm, however, according to the Smithsonian article. Norman, M. D.; Finn, J.; Tregenza, T. (2001). "Dynamic mimicry in an Indo-Malayan octopus" (PDF).

Like other cephalopods, octopuses have camera-like eyes, [48] and can distinguish the polarisation of light. Colour vision appears to vary from species to species, for example being present in O. aegina but absent in O. vulgaris. [57] Opsins in the skin respond to different wavelengths of light and help the animals choose a coloration that camouflages them; the chromatophores in the skin can respond to light independently of the eyes.
