World Octopus Day

World Octopus Day

As the name suggests, World Octopus Day celebrates one of the most distinctive creatures living on the planet today: the octopus. This eight-legged mysterious creature from the underwater world has always brought with it a lot of fascination for its intelligence, mobility and beauty.

Octopuses deserve recognition for several reasons. Firstly, they are one of the oldest surviving creatures on Earth, with fossils dating back over 300 million years. They are also highly intelligent, with approximately 500 million neurons in their brains and tentacles, allowing them to learn and solve problems in ways that many other marine animals cannot. Octopuses are visually stunning, with a wide variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. Some can be found in shallow waters, while others live thousands of meters below the surface. They are known for their ability to change colors to blend in with their surroundings as a form of protection. Despite being introverted creatures, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate World Octopus Day. One suggestion is to help stop octopus farming by sending a message to the government of the Canary Islands using the hashtag #StopOctopusFarming. Another idea is to learn more about octopuses by reading about their fascinating lives through sources such as National Geographic, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Smithsonian Institute. Lastly, you can share fun facts about octopuses with friends and colleagues, such as their size, their ability to survive in extreme depths, their unique circulatory system with three hearts, and their intelligence in opening child-proof pill bottles.
