An Octopus on an Old Shipwreck
The scene features an octopus on the deck of a wooden shipwreck beneath the water. The animal and the sunken vessel share the focus, bringing together a living sea creature and a human-made structure that has settled on the ocean floor.
Curious Facts about Octopuses and Shipwrecks
A submerged wreck can gradually become shelter for marine animals as surfaces provide hiding places and places to hunt. An octopus often explores narrow openings with its flexible arms and can squeeze through a gap only slightly wider than its hard beak. Its suckers can taste as well as grip, helping it investigate unfamiliar surroundings.
