Octopus 28" L

5060, OCTOPUS 28'' are anatomically scaled to create the best reproduction of the life size stuffed animal and the most realistic stuffed animal in the industry.

The octopus holds the distinction of being the most intelligent of all invertebrate animals.

With the highest brain-to-body-mass ratios of all invertebrates – higher even than those of some vertebrates – the octopus is regarded as the smartest of all invertebrate animals. These cephalopods are intelligent enough to engage in deceitful activities, including pretending to be “moving rocks” to outwit predators. More than 300 species of octopus exist, and they are mostly found in tropical and temperate seas around the world. Octopuses are animals that have existed for many millennia; the first known octopus fossil, Pohlsepia, is believed to have lived more than 296 million years ago.

• Maze and problem-solving experiments have suggested that octopuses have both short- and long-term memory capabilities. They can find their way back to their dens without any trouble even after traveling far distances.

• The deepest living genus of octopus is known as the dumbo octopus. Although it is very small, it lives roughly 13,100 feet below the surface of the water.

• Thanks to their highly developed pigment-bearing cells, octopuses are animals that can change the color of their skin significantly and very quickly. This camouflaging is a common defense tactic that is used to help octopuses to evade predators.

• Contrary to popular belief, the plural form of the word octopus is octopuses – not octopi. However, the term octopi is popularly used to describe more than one octopus.
