💡Did you know ? Turtles also have a lower shell called a ‘plastron’.🐢

💡Did you know ? Turtles have a hard shell that protects them like a shield, this upper shell is called a ‘carapace’.🐢

💡Did you know ? Turtles are reptiles.🐢

💡Did you know ? . Some octopuses, are unexpectedly adorable. One species of octopus is so cute🐙

💡Did you know ? . Rather than swimming, octopuses often walk along the seafloor. Which is hilarious, but mostly useful — when an octopus swims, the heart that pumps blood to its organs stops beating, so crawling is a more efficient, less exhausting alternative.🐙

💡Did you know ? . Partly because they can “see” with their skin. Scientists recently found that octopus skin contains the same light-sensitive proteins present in octopus eyes, meaning an octopus’s skin can sense and respond to light without information from the eyes or brain.🐙

💡Did you know ? . Their camouflage abilities are out of this world. For ocean predators, octopuses are some of the most difficult prey to spot. Their skin changes color and pattern to blend in with their surroundings. Even when you find yourself looking directly at an octopus, chances are you won’t realize it.🐙

💡Did you know ? . If Houdini were an animal, it’s safe to say he would have been an octopus. Since octopuses have no bones in their bodies, they can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks, making them masterful escape artists.🐙

💡Did you know ? Some two-thirds of an octopus’s neurons reside in its arms, meaning they can react to stimuli and function at a fairly high level on their own, even when severed from the body.🐙

💡Did you know ? . They aren’t called “tentacles,” they’re called ‘’arms.” . Tentacles are reserved for squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Octopuses have eight arms, zero tentacles. . And each arm has a mind of its own.🐙
