Common / Sydney Octopus (Octopus tetricus)

One of the most sighted of the cephalopods in Sydney, the Common Sydney octopus is super cool. They often are hiding in their dens (perhaps with shells and rocks on their suckers for disguise) but at night they become super active. I never ever get bored of these intelligent creatures. They are as close to an alien as we have on this planet, with two thirds of their brain located in their arms, three hearts and blue blood!
