DO YOU KNOW

Why does octopus spit ink?
Octopuses, along with other cephalopods, use ink as a defense mechanism to distract or scare predators away so that they can escape. 
The ink is released from ink sacs located between the gills and is made of mucus and melanin. When released, the ink can be dispersed more widely if the octopus also uses a jet of water from its siphon. 
Some octopuses can even eject ink in thick spurts that look like their own body shape.
