byI recently went to the library and got a bunch of random books on a variety of different topics as part of my “3 digit reading project“. The idea is to learn about different things and see what inspires me. One of the books that I got was on octopi, squid, cuttelfish and other cephalopods. Although I’ve seen these creatures in aquariums, I really didn’t know anything about them. What I learned from this book is that they have a lot of weird traits!
Some of those traits include:
- Ink shooting properties
- Color changing abilities
- Jet propulsion features
- Strange sizes, shapes and proportions
I’ve done a roundup of all of the details of these features in a HubPages article called 10 Weird, Fun Facts about Cephalopods.
