Biodiversity is scattered all over the world.As much as there is information about land animals, there are unknown stories about land animals.One such is the octopus, an eight-legged sea creature.

In the midst of this writing I will try to highlight something about the octopus, which I already know and have a lot of fun with.

Let's know a little about Octopus.

Do you know why the color of octopus is blue?

And there is no end to what scientists know

about these creatures that have been dusted off by the enemy.

Other animals, including humans, have one heart, but octopuses have three.The two hearts assist in the blood circulation in the gills of animals.And the third one is engaged in the work of blood circulation in the rest of the body.Hemocyanin is present in the body instead of hemoglobin instead of octopus.Three hearts can produce three times as much blood as one heart.As a result, they supply oxygen to the body through blood circulation.Although octopuses have three hearts, they are not always useful.When he swam, he stopped the blood circulating.That's why octopuses prefer to crawl or give more importance to swimming.

Do you know why the color of octopus is blue?

Although the blood color of vertebrates is red, the blood color of octopuses is blue.The main feature of the blood of vertebrate animals is the presence of hemoglobin with red blood cell iron.This hemoglobin causes the blood to turn red.On the other hand, octopus does not have hemoglobin in its body so its blood looks blue.The octopus has hemocyanin in its body and this is why the color of this blood is different.

The question may arise as to what would be the problem if octopus had hemoglobin instead of hemocyanin in its body.There must be a problem.The octopus is not seen roaming the surface of the ocean for long.Their wanderings are always at the bottom of the sea.The concentration of oxygen in the deep sea is much lower.In that environment, hemocyanin can work better with oxygen than hemoglobin.

An octopus has two-thirds of the existing neurons in its arms. Not in the head.In that case, even if the octopus is engaged in some other work, it can do all the work without the guidance of the brain.They have 240 absorbers in each arm of their body.Each sucker is capable of carrying a load of 30 pounds.Suckers are extremely sensitive.That is why it can move even after separating the arm from the body.

One hour after the octopus dies, its cells remain active.And they can respond to environmental stimuli.Surprisingly, Kaushik's sensors are so sensitive that, Even after the octopus dies, when it gets food, it moves towards the mouth.The octopus sprays a kind of ink on the prey's face to protect it from the prey.The ink thrown not only saves him from the prey, but also harms the animal.This is because the ink contains a type of harmful substance called tylosis.The number of neurons in an octopus is about 500 million, equivalent to a dog.They are not less joking, they often mischievously block the fishermen's boat.The nervous system of octopuses is very different from that of humans.The size of the brain is quite large.But scientists say that they have the ability to recognize different people.There are many more amazing skills on the way to the octopus.Although there is venom in almost all octopuses, it is not harmful to humans.

We are really fascinated by the creation of Allah Ta'ala.What a wonderful creation of Allah! How perfectly Allah has created the animals.
