Description
The octopus inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the ocean floor. They have numerous strategies for defending themselves against predators, including the expulsion of ink, the use of camouflage and deimatic displays, their ability to jet quickly through the water, and their ability to hide. An octopus trails its eight arms behind it as it swims. All octopuses are venomous, but only one group, the blue-ringed octopuses, is known to be deadly to humans

What a creative delight you've given us today, Eti! Beautiful as an abstract and, more than that, an appreciation of Nature's endless wonders! And to top it off, I learned a new and useful word, deimatic, a behavior I've used occasionally myself, usually more for entertainment than defense! ^.^ vf
