Octopus

Introduction
Whoosh! Splash! That was the sound of a octopus hunting for its prey. Did you know that an octopus can go up to 27 mph? This animal has the most amazing characteristics that are its structure and appearance, movement, and diet.
Subtopic #1
My organism can reach up to 2 inches-18 feet. The octopus has the ability to stick onto any object due to its suction cups the main colors of this animal are tan, brown, red, orange, blue, and purple. The Octopus is an invertebrate and is in the family cephalopod.
Subtopic #2
The octopus has a cool way to move around. It moves around by sucking in water, then blasting it the opposite way it wants to go. Isn't this way awesome if you think about it? This colorful animal is able to go as fast as twenty seven mph! So now don't you think octopuses are the best animals on the planet?
Subtopic #3
The octopus has a weird diet. This interesting animal eats small crabs, scallops, snails, fish, turtles, and other crustaceans. It catches its prey by grabbing onto it, bites it, (which paralyzes the animal) and it slowly dies. There prey are crabs, lobsters, and other shellfish. This amazing creature is a mollusk and has no shell.
Closing
My creature is called the octopus because it has 8 legs, and octo means 8. This animal has an interesting structure and appearance, movement, and diet. This animal lives very far down in the ocean.
