I didn't attend the aquarium field trip however I found the octopus very interesting to talk about. The octopus is from the Kingdom Animalia and belongs to the phylum Mollusca and class Cephalopoda. The octopus belongs to the phylum cephalopoda because it means head-foot and the octopus has no mid-section but its head and its eight tentacles. The octopus have suckers on each of there tentacles to grab things or get hold of prey. The octopus also have an ink sac which is filled with ink and they use it when there are being attacked by prey. I find the octopus very interesting because they are different then most sea creatures to me because, they can change colour to match there surroundings to hide from prey and if they are found they always have there ink sac.
Great picture of the octopus
