🐙Daily Cephalopod Fact:🐙

The Giant Pacific Octopus can be found from the intertidal zone down to 6,600 ft, and is best-adapted to colder, oxygen- and nutrient-rich waters. It is one of the largest octopus species on earth and can often be found in aquariums and research facilities in addition to the ocean. They play an important role in maintaining the health and biodiversity of deep sea ecosystems, cognitive research, and the fishing industry.

The wonderful Glass Octopus. Living at depths of around 3000 ft and only being about a foot long, these strange little creatures are rarely seen by scientists.

For years now, this wild grey whale has come to this boat captain to have its lice removed at the calving lagoon of Ojo de Liebre, Baja California, Mexico.

🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙

Mimic Octopus: Mimic octopuses have been observed mimicking numerous different species of animals, some animals being mimicked more often than others. Among the animals mimicked are lionfish, sea snakes, jellyfish, and zebra sole. The octopus' mimicry of flatfish may be its preferred guise. Not only does the mimic octopus use its ability to defend itself from predators, but it also uses aggressive mimicry, to approach wary prey, for example mimicking a crab as an apparent mate, only to devour its deceived suitor

Whenever I see a picture or a video of moon sea jellies I have to stop whatever I am doing and count the gonads (circle things on their bell) they all have because I know that most sea jellies are suppose to have 4 but sometimes will have fewer or more due to mutation and I like spotting the ones that have an abnormal amout of testies
