Wonder, Wonder

If you could give every person in the world a gift but it would have to be the same gift, what would that gift be?

Imagine you’re the President and you need to have 3 people to assist you. Who would you pick and why?

If you could set one rule for the family that we all have to follow, what would it be?

What’s a hobby that you don’t currently have that you’d love to learn?

How would you change the world if you could?

Did you know… Animals - Octopus

1. Octopuses are found in all oceans at every depth.

2. Octopuses have three hearts that pump blue, copper-based blood.

3. An octopus is a mollusk, like clams and shells; however, through evolution, it lost its shell.

4. All octopuses are venomous. Their venom contains enzymes that help digest their food.

5. Octopuses can remember and recognize individual humans.

6. Octopuses can change their appearance in less than 30 milliseconds. They change colors by expanding tiny pigment sacs in their skin called chromatophores.

7. Like dolphins, crows, and chimpanzees, octopuses are part of a special class of animals that can use tools.

8. Octopuses are believed to be the smartest invertebrate on the planet.

9. Scientists say octopuses are capable of learning from experience and maintaining short- and long-term memory.

10. Rather than swimming, octopuses often walk along the seafloor.

11. Some octopuses can walk and even run on land. According to one veterinarian, chasing an octopus on land is like "chasing a cat.

12. An octopus's appendages are called arms, not tentacles.

13. Octopuses do not have bones. This means that even large octopuses can fit through openings the size of a coin.

14. A baby octopus is about the size of a flea when it's born.

15. An octopus can build their own shelter or dens using shells or moving rocks secured by its powerful tentacles.
