Octopuses are creatures that are related to squids and cuttlefish. They are cephalopods, which means that they have a head on one end and a body on the other.
Octopuses have eight arms, which they use to explore their surroundings.
Octopuses are very intelligent creatures, and they are able to learn new tricks very quickly.
