Some physical adaptations that improve the survival of the octopus are

  • Squeezing into tight places: giant octopuses can be found up to 3 feet (1 m) wide, but the body has no bone except for a small beak used to pry open crabs. If this beak can fit into a crevice, the entire octopus can.
  • Having a strong grip to hold prey: the barbed suckers on its limbs grab tightly
  • Camouflage with surroundings (chameleon-like changes in color)
  • Squirting a dark ink to protect themselves against predators (this is a behavioral adaptation)

One adaptation of an octopus is its ability to camouflage by changing the color and texture of its skin to blend in with its surroundings. This helps the octopus avoid predators and sneak up on prey. Additionally, octopuses have the ability to squeeze through tiny spaces due to their flexible bodies, enabling them to escape from tight situations.

Octopus have no bones in their body or arms, which allows them to wiggle and bend into small spaces
