The octopus has certain

characteristics that make it a
molluck.
Some of these attributes are.
They are cold-blooded
They use gill instead of lungs
They live in water
and they have soft fleshy skin

A octopus lives in a cave or den by the

bottom of the seafloor. This animal has
chosen this habitat because his diet
includes crustaceans, other octopus, and
small fish. Those fish and invertebrates are
plentiful there. He has a physical adaptation
of using camouflage to be predator and
hunter. It protects its eggs in its den or
carries the eggs around everywhere on its
back.

The octopus is a carnivore.

It
mainly eats crabs, scallops, snails,
fish, turtles, crustaceans {shrimp} ,
and other octopuses. One adaptation
of the octopus is it uses nerve
poison and grabs its prey with its
eight legs with suction cups
{suckers}. Also it kills its prey by
biting to poison the prey. Then it
softens the flesh and eat it.

The predators are the seal and shark.

A adaptation is camouflage because it
can make itself look like a venomous
sea snake or stingray. Another
adaptation is having a very flexible
body so it can fit in spaces no
bigger than a quarter. Another
adaptation is their ink sacks that
let them get away from there
predators because they are blinded
and cant see the octopus

Another adaptation is female octopus

is usually less colorful than the
male to tell if its male or female.
So people dont get confused.

The octopus has three hearts and blue

blood that pumps to everywhere in the
octopus to make him work. The octopus
is a cephalopod and a mollusk. An
octopus has a suction cup like
suckers. The Giant Pacific Octopuses
scientific name is Enteroctopus
dofleini. After the babies go to the
surface the mother soon grows old and
dies.

In conclusion, the octopus has

adapted to live successfully in his
environment. This animal is not on
the endangered species list but of
all the eggs two grow to be adults.
So please help by not killing
octopuses.
