BELLEZA MORTAL! Los ๐ de anillos azules son innegablemente impresionantes. Cuando se alarman, estos animales lucen los anillos azules iridiscentes del mismo nombre que cubren su cuerpo y brazos.

When alarmed, these animals sport the eponymous iridescent blue rings that cover their body and arms. But their adorably small size and Instagrammable appearance are deceiving: Blue-ringed octopuses are some of the most toxic animals in the ocean. (Some reports indicate that it is 1000 times more potent than cyanide! ๐ต ๐ซ !!๏ธ) These tiny, palm-sized ones are found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. In seagrass and seaweed meadows or sand and rock soil. They are usually nocturnal, emerging at night to hunt crustaceans and sometimes small fish. Sabias esto ?

5 Facts about the Sand Octopus! ๐๐จโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ๐ซ 1. The southern sand octopus lacks the ability to change colors! ๐ฆ 2. Their go to defense is to shoot jets of water downward to create a quick sand like effectโ they can blast almost a foot into the ground! ๐ณ 3. Theyโre the first cephalopod known to burrow this deep! โฃโฃโฃโฃ๐ฌ 4. They breathe while underground by creating a โchimneyโ like hole with their arms โ this makeshift ventilation shaft allows them to stay hidden for long periods of time. It gets even more interesting... ๐คฏ 5. Once underground, They will secrete a mucus to reinforce the walls of their predator proof bunker so the sand doesnโt cave in on them while they are hanging out. Octopuses are truly the super heroes of the sea with various super powers (adaptations) that have allowed them to thrive for millions of years! - ๐ธ Via ๐ฅ: @steven.walsh.underwater โข (Dm for credit or removal / All rightsยฎ are reserved & belong to their respective owners) โข ๐ฅ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐จ ๐ญ๐จ โถ๏ธ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ญ! โข โข โข โข #giantpacificoctopus #pieuvre #liveoctopus #octopus #octopuses #octopuslove #blueringedoctopus #octopusart #myoctopusteacher #tentacle #octopusdrawing #octopusgarden #octopuss #octopodes #octopusvulgaris #octopussculpture #seachangeproject #octopoda #creaturesofthedeep #glassoctopus #octopusring #octopusesgarden #worldoctopusday #octopuscake #bobtailsquid#รธctรธpus

Blue Ringed Octopus - Hapalochlaena Maculosa Lembeh Island - Bitung - Indonesia . Blue Ringed Octopus, Hapalochlaena maculosa, are the larger of the two and more common. When alarmed, they display smaller blue rings (hence the name โlesserโ) that generally measure less than 2 mm in diameter. They weigh only 28 grams with bodies to 5 cm long and arms to 10 cm. The dorsal (upper) surface of their mantle usually has a rough appearance covered by numerous irregularly arranged wrinkles. There are also fine, unevenly-sized tubercles covering the head and mantle. While resting, the background color is a uniform gray to beige, with large, light brown patches or maculae โ thus the name H. maculosa. On their dorsal mantle, 10 maculae form a pattern of brown chevrons. Smaller patches dot their web and base of their arms. All eight arms are marked with approximately 10 evenly spaced brown patches that form bands running down their arms. Their blue rings are usually not visible in animals at rest. When the octopus is agitated, the brown patches darken dramatically, and iridescent blue rings or clumps of rings appear and pulsate within the maculae. Typically 50-60 blue rings cover the dorsal and lateral surfaces of their mantle. . . . . #natgeo #natgeotravel #macromode #nationalgeographic #uwmacro #marineworl #divemag #sonyunderwater #underwaterlive #marinelife #wildnature #photoofthedays #ssi_internacional #marinediving #uwmp #underwatermacro #bluering #blueringedoctopus #oceanlife #oceano #underwatervideos #naturelover #blueplanet #divermag #divingmagazine

The Blue-Ringed Octopus is a standout among its cephalopod counterparts, renowned for its potent venom and distinctive warning coloration, these octopus are a real crowd favourite with divers who come to Lembeh. Boasting one of the most powerful venoms in the animal kingdom, the Blue-Ringed Octopus possesses neurotoxins that swiftly incapacitate and kill prey, posing a significant threat even to humans. When feeling threatened, this octopus reveals its striking blue rings, serving as a visual deterrent to potential predators and underscoring its venomous nature. This unique aposematic warning coloration is rare among octopuses, making the Blue-Ringed Octopus instantly recognisable. Characteristically solitary and cautious, Blue-Ringed Octopuses tend to keep their distance from divers, displaying a reserved demeanour that sets them apart from other octopus species. Despite their elusive nature, these octopuses remain a fascinating and iconic sight in the underwater world, earning them a special place in the hearts of divers and making them one of the most sought-after creatures in the Lembeh Strait.
