Octopus vulgaris

Octopus vulgaris, commonly known as the common octopus, is a highly intelligent marine creature with a soft, bulbous body and eight flexible arms lined with suckers. It inhabits rocky ocean floors worldwide, particularly in coastal regions. Known for its problem-solving skills, camouflage abilities, and escape tricks, it uses its arms for hunting and exploring. Octopus vulgaris feeds mainly on crabs, mollusks, and small fish. It has a short lifespan of 1-2 years and is important both ecologically and commercially. Its remarkable adaptability and behaviors make it a fascinating subject of marine research.
