The happy octopus and its eight arms
The octopus has a large rounded head, wide eyes with lashes, a gentle smile, and dotted cheeks. Eight arms spread outward beneath the head, with curled tips and visible rows of suckers. The animal occupies the center of the page, and there are no objects or underwater scenery around it.
Surprising facts about octopus arms
An octopus has eight arms rather than tentacles; each arm carries suckers that can grip, feel, and taste objects. Its arms are highly flexible because they contain no bones. In the wild, an octopus can also change the color and texture of its skin to communicate or blend into its surroundings.
Natural colors of an octopus
- Skin: brown, reddish orange, gray, cream, or mottled combinations that can change quickly

- Eyes: usually dark at the center, surrounded by shades that vary with the species
- Undersides of the arms: commonly lighter than the upper skin
