Caribbean Reef Octopuss

Habitat: Commonly found in terrestrial. Forest light gaps, slips, margins, disturbed sites, open habitats, riverbeds, cliffs, inshore and offshore islands, fernland, herbfield,

The legs carry the octopus and the head keeps the legs in control. But if an octopus isn't proportional, maybe the head was too big for the legs or the legs were too big for the head, problems would arise. This is a lot like needing a well balanced government. A federal government is a government which equally divides its power amongst one large government and smaller governments within itself and also has a high belif in federalism, which is the practice of dividing the state and central governments. In the US this can be seen through the national government and state governments: a good, evenly balanced octopus.

Key traits were noted out of 73 lab-bred octopuses. Discoveries showed temperamental variations at different maturity levels. Young octopuses tended to be active and aggressive whereas more mature ones tended to be more alert and quick to react to danger (Scigliano, 2003). Evidence that even though their lifespan is short their brain evolves and adapts quickly.

Type of habitat: It inhabits on rocky shores, and is always found in the low intertidal zone.

This cartoon goes by a few names, but the Standard Oil octopus is the most common, it was created by Udo J Keppler in New York and wad published in Puck magazine on September 7th 1904. The cartoon depicts a standard oil tanker as an octopus it has its tentacles wrapped around Congress, state capital, the shipping industry, the railroads, and other business owners or politicians. The only thing that the octopus does not have control of is the White House, its eyes are fixed on it but its tentacles are just hovering above it not able to grasp it, the reason for this is because of President Roosevelt using the Sherman Antitrust Act to regulate the monopolies. The point Kepler was trying to get across the importance of regulating Standard Oil to prevent them from monopolizing farther in controlling the entire country, which at the time they already pretty much did.

They are found in South America, Central America and South-east Asia. It has four species and all of them are either endangered or vulnerable.

The preferred habitat for this species are wet areas such as river bottomlands, floodplains, wet prairies, and marshes. However, relatively drier habitats are often used in summers. They feed primarily on small rodents, but may also consume frogs, other snakes, and nesting birds. Breeding generally occurs during summer or early fall, although it can occur

resides in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. This species is migratory through most of its range,

If we are in deep waters we stay near the surface. We live in warm tropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. We mostly eat sponges, anemones, squid, shrimp, and of course, jellyfish!

Throughout the documentary Latino Americans, we are presented with many types of individuals who went through hardship coming and living in the United States. Some found fame, success, and a new way of living while others found themselves wanting to return to their homeland.

The article, “Odd Suckers: Octopus Species That's Weirdly Social, Romantic”, by The Associated Press, is about a rediscovered octopus species that behaves differently than any other octopus species. The species was first discovered in the 1970's, forgotten, then rediscovered today and formally named and described. These octopuses are able to lay eggs multiple times, and their mating process is more romantic than other octopus species. They are also capable of surviving much longer.

Their environments are rainforest, woodlands and grassland. They spend the majority of their time on trees and eating on trees. They do not travel much and just scattered over their area. They are known to be omnivores and their diet consists of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, leaves, blossoms, insects and occasionally other animals. They are very social and communicate by calls, touch, body language, gestures, and facial expressions.

The birds live in many areas in the United States--around freshwater and seawater. They are birds of prey with a wingspan of 60’’. They are white bodied with a black stripe coming from their eye to their wings which are black also.

Montgomery, along with Dowd and many other workers and volunteers at the aquarium, begin a tradition of meeting every Wednesday to play with the current cephalopod resident of the aquarium and learn a lot more about the behavior of the animals. Throughout the book, a series of octopuses are brought to the aquarium to live and replace the others when they die. The second octopus, Octavia, gives Montgomery a view of how each octopus has a significantly different personality, and compares the new resident to the previous, Athena. Although Octavia is the second octopus of four that author meets in captivity, she is the longest lived of them all and really gives Montgomery a view into individuality of an octopus and the importance of the bonds it forms. She couples her experiences at the aquariums with her other journeys and travels, such as her trips to Seattle aquariums and the Caribbean Sea for scuba diving excursions, along with the writings of many renowned authors, philosophers, scientists, and aquarists in her writing.

Have you ever heard of the Blue Sea Dragon or how about the Glaucus Atlanticus? It goes by many names including Sea Lizard, Blue Sea Slug and Sea Swallow. There are many more names but that is not the only thing about it though. It is around three centimeters long when it is full grown. It has six webbed fingers and it's not as innocent as it may seem. Sadly it only lives up to a year old before dying.
