    An octopus has many strong muscles throughout its body which allows it to change shape quickly as it has no bones. Its brain controls decision making and memory while two-thirds of its neurons in its arms control movement. An octopus can also change its skin texture and color to camouflage itself by signaling muscles under its skin.

    ALL MUSCLE, NO BONES

    An octopus’s body has many muscles. This makes it strong and fast.
    Octopuses also have no bones, so they can change their shape
    very quickly.

    An octopus brain holds only


    one-third of the animal’s neurons
    (nerve cells). It handles functions
    such as decision-making, learning,
    and memory.

    An octopus
    has three hearts:
    one large central
    heart and two
    smaller ones on
    either side.

    About two-thirds of an octopus’s


    -

    neurons are in its arms. These


    neurons control the arm movements.

    Octopuses can change their appearance Skin texture Skin color/pattern


    to match their surroundings. Once the
    brain gives a signal, the octopus’s muscles
    move in a certain way, changing its skin
    from smooth to spiky and producing normal expanded
    colorful spots or stripes on its skin. smooth spiky (large spots)
