Deep in the ocean lives one of the most STRANGE and clever animals on Earth — the OCTOPUS. The octopus belongs to a group of animals called MOLLUSKS (MAH-lusks), which also includes clams and snails. Even though it is a mollusk, the octopus has no hard shell to protect it — instead, it relies on its BRAIN and its body to stay safe. Scientists who STUDY octopuses have discovered that these animals are far smarter than anyone first expected. With eight arms and three hearts, the octopus is truly built unlike anything else in the animal kingdom.
