Wednesday: Writing Task

Hi Today i am going to be talking about Giant Pacific Octopus as you might know you may be thinking Where do they live? or  What do they eat? Who are there predators? What do they look like? How many Kg do they weigh?. Well I am  going to be talking about them.  

Where do they live? They range throughout the temperate waters of the
Pacific, from southern California to Alaska, west to the Aleutian Islands
and Japan. 

What do they eat? Giant Pacific octopuses spend most of their lives
alone. They hunt at night for shrimp, clams, lobsters and fish, but have
also been known to eat small sharks using their beak-like mouths to
puncture prey. Along with eight arms, an octopus also has three hearts
and nine brains. 

Who are their predators? Marine mammals, such as harbour seals, sea
otters, and sperm whales depend upon the giant Pacific octopus as a
source of food. Pacific sleeper sharks are also confirmed predators of
this species. In addition, the octopus along with cuttlefish and squid are
major sources of protein for human consumption.

What do they look like? Giant Pacific octopuses have huge, bulbous
heads and are generally reddish-brown in colour. Like the other members
of the octopus family, though, they use special pigment cells in their skin
to change colours and textures, and can blend in with even the most
intricately patterned corals, plants, and rocks.
