The term "ahtapot" refers to the Turkish word for "octopus," a marine animal known for its unique appearance and intelligence. Octopuses have eight arms lined with suckers, allowing them to grasp objects and navigate their environment. They are found in various ocean habitats, from coral reefs to deep-sea environments. Octopuses are known for their ability to change color and texture, which helps them blend into their surroundings for camouflage. They are also highly adaptable and can escape predators by squeezing through tight spaces. Their diet mainly consists of crustaceans, fish, and mollusks.
