This fascinating creature is true to life with vivid coloration and eight movable arms. Each arm is operable with printed suction cups on the underside. Easy to wriggle around, the red octopus Hand Puppet literally fits like a glove, instantly coming to life. (suitable for both left- and right-handed users).
The east Pacific red octopus (Octopus rubescens) ranges from the Gulf of Alaska down to the Gulf of California, usually in rock crevices and empty shells. Its body measures eight to ten centimetres, while the arms grow to between 30 and 40 centimetres. It hunts crabs, clams and snails by night, drilling hard shells with its rasping tongue and subduing the prey with its saliva. A female fastens thousands of tiny eggs to the roof of her den and guards them for six to eight weeks without feeding. She dies once the larvae hatch; a red octopus rarely passes two years of age in any case.
Did you know that an octopus has three hearts? Two pump blood through the gills while the third serves the rest of the body and stops beating during swimming, which is one reason these animals prefer to crawl. Their blood is blue as well, because it carries oxygen with copper-based haemocyanin rather than iron.
