Yesterday was world octopus day

Lets take a few moments to marvel at these incredible creatures

Their eight arms have suckers to grasp and explore their surroundings

Masters of camouflage who can instantly blend to avoid predators

These highly intelligent creatures can solve complex puzzles

They have blue blood and three hearts

They can grow a new arm if they lose one

Having no bones allows them to squeeze into tight spaces

They are venous and use ink as a defense mechanism

They use tools to build shelters

Jet propulsion allows them to dart about quickly

Equipped with incredible eyesight that can detect polarized light and see things in very low light

They taste ever so good in seafood dishes like paella
