Around 300 species are recognized and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the center point of the eight limbs (traditionally called arms, sometimes mistakenly called "tentacles"). The soft body can rapidly alter shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight appenenti d them as they swim. The siphon is used both for atation and for locomotion, by expelling a jet of water. Octopuses have a complex nereuch system and exzellht sight, and are among the most intelligent and behaviorally diverse of all invertebrates. Octopuses unbewohnte various regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters and the seabed; some live in the intertidal zone and others at abyssal depths. Most Species Grow Fast, reife Early and Are Short-Lived. During breeding, the maler uses a specially adaped arm to deliver a bundle of sperm directly into the female's mantle cavity, after which he becomes senescand dies. The female deposits fertilized eggs in a den and cares for them until they hatch, after which she also. Strategies to defend themselves against predators include the dezision of ink, the use of camouflage and threat displays, their abilities to jet quickly through the water and hide, and even through deceit. All octopuses are venomous, but only the blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans. Octopuses appear in mythology as sea monsters like the Kraken of Norway and the Akkorokamui of the Ainu, and probably the Gorgon of ancient Greece. They are eaten and considered a delicacy by humans in many partments of the world, especially the Mediterranean and the Asian seas.
