Octopus vulgaris (Common octopus)

Octopus vulgaris, commonly known as the common octopus, is a highly intelligent marine animal with a soft, flexible body and eight long arms covered in suckers. It can change color and texture to blend into its surroundings, aiding in camouflage and communication. Found in oceans worldwide, especially in rocky, coral, and sandy areas, it is a skilled hunter, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The octopus has a short lifespan, usually 1-2 years, and is known for its problem-solving abilities and complex behaviors. Its unique physiology and adaptability make it one of the most fascinating cephalopods in marine environments.
