8 Amazing Facts about Cephalopodsby ~Noadi

Designs & Interfaces / Infographics

October 8-12 is Cephalopod Awareness Days and while I've been busy doing lots of work preparing for a sale in my Etsy shop I needed a break. So I wrote up some blurbs about cool cephalopod facts then took out GIMP and illustrated them.

Cool bonus fact: The brainy blue ringed octopus is writing out the formula for tetradotoxin which is what makes their venom so deadly.

Cool.
The main ingredients of the ink are melanin and urea (so suntan and piss)

I remember years ago in biology we watched a video about vertebrates... crustaceans/insects... and I think invertebrates like cephalopods and their origins at the very beginning of time. I obviously don't remember much of the video but one thing that stuff with me was that the crustaceans/insects "ruled" for centuries until the vertebrates evolved enough to take over and now we "rule." At the end it was kind've sad 'cause the cephalopods never got a chance to rule.

And now we await our squishy overlords to rise up and claim their rightful place!

_{Aw, cuttlefish <3
I didn't know abou Cephalopod Awareness Days, it's good to know now.
So many interesting facts about them, especially about Chromatophore Communication. I've never heard about it before.
And difference between arms and tentacles, finally! English isn't my native language and I always had little troubles with using those words and now I know. (:
Thank you!}

I totally forgot that it was national cephalopod day!!!! I'm a terrible cephalopod lover </3
But this is a great deviation, love the animation.

Often, an octopus in a laboratory kept in a tank next to the food critters will crawl out of its tank when unobserved, slip into the next tank, and eat its fill before returning.
They can also fit through just about any opening wide enough for the solid parts of them (such as the beak) in order to accomplish the above.
FASCINATING critters.

Absolutely! It's why I love them so much.
