Amazing Octopus Facts
Some species of octopus engage in what is known as the “moving rock” trick. An octopus may slowly inch its way across open space, allowing them to mimic the appearance of a rock. They do so at the same speed as the surrounding water, creating the illusion that they aren’t moving at all. This allows them to essentially move while in plain sight of predators.
Maze and problem-solving experiments have suggested that octopuses have both short- and long-term memory capabilities. They are able to find their way back to their dens without any trouble even after traveling far distances.
The deepest living genus of octopus is known as the dumbo octopus. Although it is very small, it lives roughly 13,100 feet below the surface of the water.
Thanks to their highly developed pigment-bearing cells, octopuses are animals that can change the color of their skin significantly and very quickly. This camouflaging is a common defense tactic that is used to help octopuses to evade predators.
