The East Pacific red octopus is a small octopus that lives along the North American West Coast. It is the most common shallow-water octopus in much of this region and hunts on the seabed. It is special because scientists have shown it has individual personalities, the first invertebrate found to have them.1

Sihlala
North American West Coast, from the southern Gulf of California to the Gulf of Alaska; may also occur in the western Pacific Ocean1

It lives on the seabed from the intertidal zone down to depths of about 300 m (980 ft). It is a shallow-water animal and is found throughout much of its range in these habitats.1

Sitya ntoni?
It is a generalist predator that feeds on gastropods (sea snails), bivalves, crabs and barnacles. It pounces on its prey and changes colour in a set sequence at the moment of capture. When it attacks a bivalve, it drills a hole through the shell and delivers venom, then opens the shell more easily.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Its colour can vary from deep brick red to brown, to white, or a mottled mixture of these.1
  • It can change both its colour and skin texture.1
  • It has three eyelash-like papillae (small bumps) below each eye.1
  • Adults usually have a mantle (body) length of 8–10 cm, with arms of 30–40 cm.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Small individuals of the giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) can be mistaken for it in the north of its range. The East Pacific red octopus has three eyelash-like papillae below each eye, which the giant Pacific octopus lacks.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

It uses venom to subdue its prey. After catching a bivalve such as a clam, it drills a hole through the shell near the adductor muscles and injects venom through that hole.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Ukubopha ngoxinzelelo nokunqanda ukushukuma (pressure immobilisation): songa ibhandeji eqinileyo enwebekayo phezu kwendawo elunyiweyo uze unyuke ngelungu lonke, uliqinise ngesiplinti, kwaye ugcine umntu engashukumi kwaphela de kufike uncedo.
  • Ingwane enamakhonkco aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okanye inkumba ye-cone inokwenza umntu ayeke ukuphefumla esaphaphile: biza uncedo kwaye ulungele ukumphefumlela (rescue breaths) de i-ambulensi ithathe izintambo.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

It was the first invertebrate in which individual personalities were demonstrated.1

2

In the 2016 Pixar film Finding Dory, a character named Hank is an East Pacific red octopus. The animators gave him seven arms because they could not fit all eight on his model.1

3

It drills holes in bivalve shells, often near the adductor muscles, to reach the prey inside.1

4

A 2011 study suggested it may choose prey based on how easily the fat can be digested rather than on calories.1

5

It was widely thought to be a young giant Pacific octopus before it was described as a species in 1953.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Because captive animals were active at night, many people believed it hunts only at night.

Inyaniso: A study in Puget Sound, Washington, found that a local population was likely active during the day (diurnal).1
