Jesse J's Favorite Sea Animal


         My favorite sea animal is the Octopus. The octopus has eight arms that have suction cups attached to them. An octopus is also called a cephalopod. Octopi often live in a coral reef. Octopi don't live for very long.  Some of the smaller species live up to as little as six months. I really like the octopus because it has three hearts.  This is very strange and it makes the octopus very cool in my opinion. Octopi are very intelligent as well.  They have been observed throwing floating bottles into the path of bubbles in their aquariums and then catching them as they bounce back.  They also have been seen breaking into holds in order to get clams to eat or even making their way into ships to find food.  They are a very interesting creature and that is why they are my favorite.
