Guess what? Octopuses do their own manicures! 💅 By vigorously swirling its tentacles together, our octopus sheds the chitinous cuticles, protective linings that cover each sucker on its tentacles. Just like we trim our fingernails when they get too long, our octopus keeps its suckers squeaky clean! 🐙 Grooming improves grip strength and sharpens the octopus' ability to taste what it touches! Self-care happens in nature, too... 🧘 | Two Oceans Aquarium

Spin cycle! 🌀 Did you know octopuses shed their suction cups? The lining of their suction cups is called a chitinous cuticle, and they shed them periodically by doing this cool behavior. 🐙 Video by Robin Riggs #AOPcephalopods | Aquarium of the Pacific

Watch this Octopus transform from smooth to spiky! 🤓 Papillae (pah-pill-ee) are sections of octopus skin that can flex in order to change their texture 3-dimensionally! 🎥 Watch Sydney Gelle’s video closely to spot the change! It’s like magic! ✨ 📖 Papillae are biological structures consisting of an extensive network of muscles with NO skeletal support! (Because who needs pesky bones) ⚠️Matching the texture of various things along the ocean floor is important for visual blending— especially for

Check out how this octopus changes the shape of the skin above its eye and body. These bumpy sections of skin (known as “papillae”) can be transformed in order to change texture. Working by a hydrostatic mechanism, these skin changes give the octopus 3D camouflage by displaying a less identifiable edge. Retraction of the “papillae” to quickly smoothing the skin is also important for reduced drag during swimming, particularly for escape. Watch carefully right above the eyes of this beautiful octo

Octopuses shed the outer skin of their suckers! 🐙 Similar to crustaceans shedding their exoskeletons as they grow (or even humans shedding skin cells), octopuses like Bowie will shed their "disks," or the outside skin of their suckers—Bowie will make these mesmerizing movements around shedding time. | Shedd Aquarium

As an #octopus grows, their suckers grow right along with them. 🐙 What you’re seeing is the outer layer being shed from each cup, making room for more growth. Those suckers do more than just grip. They also help octo's taste their surroundings. Shedding this layer helps keep their grip strong and their senses sharp. #DidYouKnow #aquarium #animalfacts #OregonCoastAquarium
