Fun facts about the octopus:
They’re the only invertebrates known to use tools. They have exceptional short- and long-term memories. And they have the keenest eyes of any sea creature, with an oblong slit for a pupil and no blind spot. Octopus also have three hearts (one main heart and two smaller ones), and can taste in eight directions. They swim by jet propulsion, squirt ink, and communicate by changing their skin into patterns of shimmering color. Plus their body is so versatile that it can be squeezed through the tiniest opening.
