Suction cups show, octupus, Oregon Coast Aquarium

Did you know octopuses are highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent of all invertebrates.

For defense against predators, they hide, flee quickly, expel ink, or use color-changing camouflage.

All octopuses are venomous, but only the small blue-ringed octopuses are deadly to humans.

Awesome POV, love the touch of red in the shot, like blood create a horror movie like scene. BV

BTW if some one is ever stung by a blue ring, keep applying CPR and they'll recover after about an 1hr, it's venom temporally shuts down all muscles in the body including the heart muscles.
