An octopus—a sea animal that can do amazing things.Octopuses are very smart. They can learn new things just like humans.They’ve even learned a few skills to get themselves out of dangerous situations.Octopuses don’t have teeth or sharp(锋利的) claws to protect themselves.Instead, they use more clever ways to fool their enemies. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on thebottom of the ocean floor. It can change the color of its skin to match the sand. And this color change happens in less than a minute.Some octopuses like to stay near rocks in shallow water. They can make themselves fit into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their enemies. Another way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears, the octopus has swum away or hidden.If an octopus is in danger, it can make itself look like a sea snake. It will hide itself in the sand, leaving two arms outside. It will change the color of those arms to match a sea snake. But what if there’s no time to hide? It can break off one of its arms. The arm will then change colors and keep moving around in the water to take the enemy’s attention away while the octopus swims away to safety. Don’t worry though. The arm will grow back.A kind of octopus is called the blue-ringed octopus. It is tiny.
