“The longest octopus lifespan is three to four years, and most of the smaller octopuses die after about six months to a year.”
― Octopus: The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate
― Octopus: The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate
“Octopuses can change what they look like in less than 30 milliseconds by expanding tiny pigment sacs in the skin, chromatophores. They can go from dark to pale, plain to patterned, rough to smooth, and a clumped shape to an elongated form. They change their appearance mostly to hide from predators, camouflaging to match the colors and the patterns of their background.”

“Second, a huge part of plankton is made up of plants or other organisms that have chlorophyll and produce their own food. As a side effect of this process, the oceans produce 50 percent of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere, 95 percent of which comes from phytoplankton and 5 percent from bigger algae (kelp and seaweed) or the few marine vascular plants that live near shore.”
