#shorts #interestingfacts The Longarm octopus

The Longarm octopus is a peculiar species that lives in the Caribbean Sea of the Atlantic Ocean. It can mimic the appearance and behavior of at least 15 different species, including angelfish, flatfish, jellyfish, venomous spiny pufferfish, mantis shrimp, and goosefoot sea grass. The Longarm octopus is often found on sandy beaches at the bottom of the ocean. When it encounters enemies such as groupers or snappers, it immediately flattens itself and folds its arms behind its body, just like a flounder. It can also move its body softly forward and move both eyes to the left, just like a flounder. This camouflage technique allows the Longarm octopus to make its body more firm and safe, as well as quickly escape when being chased. The Longarm octopus is a fascinating creature that is able to survive in a variety of environments. Its ability to mimic other animals is a testament to its intelligence and adaptability.
