only animal on the planet that doesn’t make its own venom. The Blue-Ringed Octopus (BRO) or Hapalochlaena maculosa lives in tide pools and coral reefs. They can often be found in the south coast of Australia, from Western Australia to eastern Victoria. Over time natural selection picked the BROs that is the color closest to the color of their environment. This helps the octopi blend in with their environment and become harder to see. When relaxed the BRO is light beige, blending in with the…

Their brain structure is different from other invertebrates in the ocean because they share complex features similar to the human brain. Squid are very smart and can be very curious about their environment, have the ability to learn new skills, and can develop the capacity to use tools that can either help them repress their boredom or protect themselves from harm (Squid-World Editors).
