Giant Pacific Octopus

Did You Know?

The Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) is incredibly smart, capable of solving mazes and opening jars, but also has three hearts, blue blood (due to copper), and arms with their own mini-brains, allowing them to multitask; a female's life ends in selfless dedication as she starves to death guarding her massive egg clutch, from which only a few hatchlings survive, notes SeaDoc Society, OctoNation - The Largest Octopus Fan Club!, Hastings Aquarium, and explore . adventure . discover.
