fact of the day

Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms

Humans eat octopus in many cultures. The arms and sometimes other body parts are prepared in various ways, often varying by species.

Octopus is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, including sushi, takoyaki, and Akashiyaki. Some small species are sometimes eaten alive as a novelty and health food. Similarly, a live octopus may be sliced up and the legs eaten while still squirming, which continues for some minutes.

Octopus is eaten regularly in Hawaii, since many popular dishes are Asian in origin. Locally known by their Hawaiian or Japanese names, ("he'e" and "tako" respectively) octopus is also a popular fish bait.

Just think about that how human eat these beautiful animals... really bad..

Octopuses also have an excellent sense of touch.

Octopuses are highly intelligent, likely more so than any other order of invertebrates.

Octopuses have keen eyesight. Although their slit-shaped pupils might be expected to afflict them with astigmatism, it appears that this is not a problem in the light levels in which an octopus typically hunts.
