•  Info Common octopus (Octopus vulgaris), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain. This mollusc is the most studied of all octopus species. It is cosmopolitan, that is, a global species, which ranges from the eastern Atlantic, extends from the Mediterranean Sea and the southern coast of England, to the southern coast of South Africa. The common octopus hunts at dusk. Crabs, crayfish, and bivalve molluscs (two-shelled, such as cockles) are preferred, although the octopus eats almost anything it can catch. It is able to change color to blend in with its surroundings, and is able to jump upon any unwary prey that strays across its path. Using its beak, it is able to break into the shells of shelled molluscs. During the day it usually hides in holes and sleeps and it goes out during the night to hunt (like shown here in a night dive). Note: we do have several FPs of octopus, but I find this image of special good composition and acceptable quality. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:26, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Support I wish for a somewhat more horizontal orientation, but it's sharp and a great example of its camouflaging abilities. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:10, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
