COSA NOSTRA…

The octopus is a sea animal with a soft body and eight arms called tentacles….Rows of round cups on the underside of each tentacle act much like a suction cup. These suckers can fasten tightly to any object, and may hold on even if the tentacle is cut off. If an octopus loses a tentacle, a new one grows in its place…

An octopus has two eyes and sees well. It has the most highly developed brain of all invertebrates….

Some kinds of octopuses inject a poison that paralyzes their prey…

The octopus can also squirt a black fluid forming a dark cloud that hides the animal so it can escape from sharks, whales, human beings and other enemies.
