Hi readers!

The Amazing Animal in the September 2018 issue is the octopus! Here are some fun and weird facts about octopuses.

• Octopuses have three hearts. One of them pumps blood through the body, and the other two pump blood through the gills.
• Most octopuses eat crabs, fish, shrimp and clams, but some eat small sharks!
• Octopuses build their own houses made of rocks. These houses are called dens.
• Even the largest octopus in the world starts out small – it hatches from an egg the size of a grain of rice!
• Octopuses are very smart. They can even solve mazes!
