The Octopus by Erica

All octopuses have 8 arms called TENTACLES. On each tentacle there are 2 rows of sticky cups called SUCKERS. Octopuses also have 2 huge eyes. Octopuses have no skeletons. They can change colors to look like their surroundings. They can look back without their turning their heads.

Octopuses eat oysters, crabs, clams, lobsters, and shrimps. If you go diving, you might find octopuses living in coconut shells, rocky caves, reef crevices, and wrecked ships.
