The octopus has long fascinated scientists. The intelligent cephalopods have been known to use coconut shells for mobile homes and armor, disable their suckers to avoid becoming a tangled mess, plot escapes from aquarium enclosures, and even predict World Cup soccer game outcomes.

    Three things I have learned is that Octopus can see with there skin, they open up to do camouflage and, they have been known to use coconut shells as home or armor. I did not know about the armor and how they can change there skin for camouflage. Why are people doing so much research on these creatures?
