Some people say that the best defense is a good offense; an octopus, however, would disagree.
In addition to being one of the strangest and most beautiful creatures in nature, the octopus has some of
the most inventive and effective defense mechanisms imaginable. While other animals have teeth, horns,
or claws to help defend them from predators, the octopus concentrates its energy on hiding from and
confusing its attackers. When it wants to get away, the octopus has an impressive arsenal of tricks at its
disposal.
