Tako, or octopus, is a marine animal known for its soft body and eight long arms, which are lined with suckers. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid and cuttlefish. Octopuses are highly intelligent creatures, capable of problem-solving and using tools. They can change color and texture to blend into their surroundings, a skill that helps them avoid predators. Octopuses are found in oceans worldwide, often in coral reefs, rocky areas, and deep-sea environments. They are carnivorous, feeding on crustaceans, fish, and other small marine animals. Their unique ability to squirt ink can help them escape from threats, providing a temporary smokescreen.
