An octopus in the open sea might seem easy pickings for predators
such as
moray eels, sea lions and bigger octopuses, but the octopus isn't quite such a sitting duck.It has quite an armory. It can disorient a
pursuer with a splurge of purplish-black ink. If it lost a limb , it can regrow one. And just one thing more, it can change color in split seconds. Octopuses also go all over reefs, probing
with their arms for prey in hiding.
In its hiding,an octopus will often lie
out of notice,arms coiled, before a tentacle unrolls to snag a passerby with
the suckers at the tip. While gallivanting through the oceans , its primary attack posture is
to parachute gently down with all eight arms outstretched and scoop
its prey in the embrace. Having lashed its victim the octopus holds it against its underside and bites it with a
retractable beak.
Shouldn't you be an octopus amidsts predatory times like today ?
