Amazing Marine Inhabitants
History of Anderson Brando - Goias, Brasil
International Octopus Day is celebrated on October 8 , a date created by Octopus News Magazine Online (TONMO) in honor of these incredible animals, which have eight appendages. The choice of the day coincides with mating season, making it an ideal time to raise awareness about octopuses, known for their intelligence and camouflage abilities. With 90% of their bodies composed of muscles, they have three hearts and around five hundred million neurons. The celebration aims to highlight the importance of octopuses in marine ecosystems and promote the protection of their habitats. Events are organized around the world to educate the public about the threats these animals face, such as pollution and overfishing.
