Tako, or octopus, is a marine animal known for its soft body and eight long arms. These arms are lined with suckers, allowing the octopus to grasp objects and capture prey. Octopuses are highly intelligent creatures, capable of problem-solving and using tools. They inhabit various ocean environments, from coral reefs to deep-sea floors. Octopuses are also known for their ability to change color and texture, which helps them blend into their surroundings for camouflage. They are part of the Cephalopoda class, which also includes squid and cuttlefish. Many cultures enjoy eating tako, especially in dishes like sushi and sashimi.
