What amazing animal has eight arms but no hands? The answer is an octopus! The octopus uses its arms to crawl on the seabed. It fills its body with water and then pushes the water out. So the octopus speeds through the water.

Octopuses have their own feelings too. They change colours when they are mad or happy! People find that octopuses are also very smart. They are smart enough to open jars! If an enemy attacks an octopus, the octopus can squirt ink in the water. The ink hurts the enemy’s eyes so that the octopus can swim away quickly.
Octopuses live all over the world. They swim in cold water and warm water. Some people think they look scary, but they don’t want to hurt you. Octopuses are amazing animals!
