Happy #WorldOctopusDay! Octopuses come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Some live in very shallow waters while the Giant Pacific Octopus is known to live in depths down to 2000 mt.s (6.600 ft). Highly intelligent, with around 500 million neurons located in their brains and arms, octopuses have blue blood, three hearts and a doughnut-shaped brain. It's a well-known fact that octopuses have eight arms. But did you know that each arm contains its own 'mini brain'? Which other octopus fact do you kn

This remarkable creature was spotted in the watery depths of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), which is the largest and deepest UNESCO World Heritage Site on Earth. Not every body part is transparent, and those that aren’t are elongated, teardrop-shaped, so that almost no shadow is c
