Octopus - Animal of the Day | Educational Animal Videos for Kids, Toddlers and Preschool Children

Hey kids! Today we’re going, to learn about one of my favorite animals: the OCTOPUS! The OCTOPUS lives under the sea. It is most famous for having eight arms called TENTACLES. Look at all those tentacles! There are more than 300 different types of octopus all over the world! Some live in shallow water like coral reefs, and others live in the deepest parts of the ocean. Some octopuses are really small, the size of a ball. But the biggest octopus on Earth is the GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUS, which weighs more than THIRTY POUNDS and can stretch their tentacles FOURTEEN FEET! All octopuses are INVERTEBRATES, which means they have no skeleton. They can squeeze into all sorts of tight spaces. They also have THREE HEARTS and BLUE BLOOD. Three hearts! They must LOOOOVE their hearts. Octopuses eat lots of different sea creatures like crabs, shrimp, and other shellfish. But other predators, like SHARKS, like to eat octopuses! So they have lots of strategies to defend themselves. Octopuses can camouflage themselves against rocks or corals – CAMOUFLAGE means they turn different colors. Can you spot the octopus? They can also spray a thick black ink to distract predators while they swim away! And if that doesn’t work, octopuses can leave one of their tentacles behind. They will just grow it back! Easy-peasy! Octopuses are very smart and have excellent eyesight. They can see you coming from very far away! Octopuses may be smart, and cool-looking, and have three hearts and eight tentacles, but they’re also in danger. All around the world, they are losing the corals where they live because of climate change. Also, the ocean water is getting polluted with all of our human trash. The best thing YOU can do to protect octopuses is for your family to use less plastic—like plastic water bottles and plastic wrap and containers—so the octopuses have a safe place to live. We love octopuses. What is YOUR favorite thing that octopuses do?
