The Miraculous Octopus
This week join Roger Billings and the Science Live crew in an exploration of one of nature’s most remarkable creatures: the octopus!
We’ll learn about the octopus’s remarkable camouflage abilities and the science that allows them to change color and texture in as little as 200 milliseconds. Did you know they have no backbone and not one, but three hearts! Discover more fascinating facts and fun stories about these remarkably intelligent creatures.
This episode also includes updates on Acellus World – a new cyber school program, and don’t miss the hilarious segment where R51 attempts — with mixed results — to train an octopus named Octagon.

Octopus are so cool, matter of fact I have a octopus name Kurama Uzamki I named him that name because I love watching Naruto. but he likes to crabs, shrimp and fish. And he is a Dumbo octopus, and he lives to 5 to 18 years. he is only 4 years old. I love him. I learned about octopus that they have three hearts, and female Dumbo octopus can breed continuesly, than other female octopus.

This was so cool to learn
I really enjoyed today’s science live!
Interesting episode, it was really cool to see how octopus camouflage, by using their camatofors to blend in with their environment.
Octopuses are so interesting
This video is so good. Also octopuses have three hearts: two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body.
Octopuses are so cool.
Today I learned that iron is what makes our blood red. Octopuses do not have iron in their blood, so it is blue. Does Acellus have a marine biology class? I enjoy when we learn about different marine animals.
We just had a conversation this week in my family about people throwing batteries away! There have been alot of dump trucks catching on fire because of it.
I love science live

The octopus is a truly miraculous sea creature, known for its intelligence and unique abilities. It has three hearts and blue blood, helping it survive in deep ocean environments.
