OCTOPUSES

Octopuses live in the ocean. They have eight legs and a very big head.

Small octopuses are about one foot long and six pounds. Big octopuses can be 16 feet long

and over 100 pounds.

Octopuses are carnivores, which means they eat meat. They like lobsters, fish, and birds. They have predators like sharks, eels, and large fish.

Octopuses can change color to blend in and hide from their enemies, which is called “camouflaging.”

They are good at fitting into small spaces. They also squirt ink at their enemies.
