Hi! Today we went to la Choya! I have posted a picture here of myself holding an octopus we found hiding out under a rock trying to find protection until the high tides came in. If you didn't already know an octopus is a cephalopod mollusc. They like to collect shells and other objects to construct fortresses around themselves for protection. Out there today we placed a sea shell near it and the octopus clasped on to it and brought it right in. We were also able to see how the octopus uses its line of defense to change its colors to match that around itself. Another defense we got to see was when it squirts out ink, which makes it hard for others to see it get away. Today has been very fun and sight full of new things! Can't wait for tomorrow!
