Blue Ringed Octopus

This week in my marine science class we are doing a project on any sea animal. I got the pleasure of researching the Blue Ringed Octopus. Not a choice a would have made but my partner made it for us, and I'm happy to say that it was a good choice. I didn't know much about this animal, only that it had eight tentacles, and this not some thing to be proud of due to the fact that any kindergartener would know that. It turns out that there is alot more to thisanimal than meets the eye. I learnedsome very interesting facts over the last week and i would like to share them with you, your welcome.

• The blue ringed octopus is born the size of a pea, and only grows to be a size of a golf ball, and by looking at the pictures online i would have never guessed that look...
• 
• Pretty colors right, wrong! By showing its blue ring that is a sign that it is pissed off. This is probably the last this that you will see if your close enough to see it.
  
• Despite its small size this little guy really packs a punch. It is poisonous, in fact it is one of the most deadly creatures in the sea, huh. With one bite it can kill a grown human within minutes. There is no know antidote for venom the only thing that can save you is hours of heart massage. So don't get bite.
• Blue Ring's are native to Pacific Ocean tide pools ranging from parts of Japan to Australia
• They mostly feed on crabs, shrimp, and some small fish if they catch them.
• Females usually give birth to about 50 eggs,and she nest them under her arm until there born. They dont eat the whole time that there waiting for them to hatch and once they do they females die, of course.
• And the most interesting fact i think that i learned was they have 3 hearts, how do they fit 3 hearts in that tiny body.
