🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙

Blanket Octopus: Blanket octopuses are immune to the venomous Portuguese man o' war, whose tentacles the male and immature females rip off and use for offensive and defensive purposes. Like many other octopuses, the blanket octopus uses ink to intimidate potential predators. Also, when threatened, the female unfurls her large net-like membranes that spread out and billow in the water, greatly increasing her apparent size.

Blanket Octopus (Tremoctopus violaceus) - so unbothered they’re actually immune to jellyfish stings. They also rip off those jellyfish tentacles and use them as defense against their predators

Stunning Cephalopod

The iridescent symmetry of this blanket octopus plays a key role in the cephalopod’s success as a predator. Most blanket octopuses observed are females, like this one photographed in the Philippines. Females can grow up to two metres long and up to 40,000 times heavier than the walnut-sized males, and sport a characteristic fleshy ‘blanket’ draped over their tentacles, which makes them appear even larger.

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today's wet beast is: Blanket Octopus

Olive's Wet Beast Fact: these venomous beauties range drastically in size, with the males around the size of a walnut, and the females up to 6 feet long. Personally, I think they look more like Cinderella's torn up dress than they do a blanket, but whatever.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

(Again, I won't be pinging anyone for this because I already did that for individual posts. This is moreso for me to have everything in one place. All individual posts can be found on my mod blog with the tag "faeraipridedoodles")

I drew every ask that was given to me for the Grandmotherly Hugs / Forehead Kisses, and I tried getting it all done on one munday. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, but nonetheless everyone got something at some point within the next week or so (at least ones I know went through and weren't eaten by Tumblr) <3

#again I wont be pinging anyone since I’ve already done that in individual posts #this is largely just for me to have all of them in one place #thank fuck there's a 30 image limit.

I just discovered the blanket octopus. Would you do a fact on them if not already done? 👀

Sure friend! I am a daily fish fact account only, but I simply couldn't not say something about the magnificent blanket octopus :)

Here is a blanket octopus female! How do I know that? Simple: the males of the species only reach about 2 and a half centimeters, while the females can be as large as two meters long! The species is named after this gorgeous lady's webs that connect to her arms.

"Blanket octopus" refers to four different species actually! And they're all immune to the extremely venomous Portuguese man o' war, young females and males will in fact rip out a dangerous and venomous tentacle from these animals to defend themselves! It is extremely interesting and exciting what kinds of things octopuses are capable of :)

#hey. if you're an account that does facts on other aquatic animals..... hmu #i will reblog the crap out of your blog! #blanket octopus #octopus #sea creatures #biology #zoology #aquatic #marine biology #marine life #marine animals #portuguese man o war #asks #anonymous
