Seals, whales, and large fish like to eat octopuses. If an octopus feels scared it will shoot an inky fluid that darkens the water, confusing the other animal. The octopus can also change to gray, brown, pink, blue, or green to blend in with its surroundings. Octopuses may also change color as a way to communicate with other octopuses.
Octopuses like to live alone in dens built from rocks, which the octopus moves into place using its powerful arms.
A girl octopus lays thousands of transparent eggs under rocks or in holes. She guards the eggs for four to eight weeks.
