The pattern of teeth repeats, but each row may not be identical to the last; in the octopus, for instance, the sequence repeats every five rows. [ 102 ] : 79 Cephalopod radulae are known from fossil deposits dating back to the Ordovician. [ 103 ]
An adult wunderpus octopus displays an individually unique pattern of white spots and bands over a rusty brown background. Even though each body pattern is unique to the individual, generally all wunderpus octopuses display a circular pattern of about six white spots at the posterior lip of its mantle, head and neck area. Some of these spots ...
An octopus (pl.: octopuses or octopodes [a]) is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda (/ ɒ k ˈ t ɒ p ə d ə /, ok-TOP-ə-də [3]).The order consists of some 300 species and is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids.
The pattern can serve as a unique identifier as it varies among individuals. [2] Though LPSO has similar body color patterns to other octopuses like Octopus chierchiae, [9] Octopus zonatus, [10] Abdopus spp., [11] Thaumoctopus mimicus, [12] and Wunderpus photogenicus, [12] the body patterns it exhibits are unique to the species.
Octopus wolfi, the star-sucker pygmy octopus, is the smallest known octopus. It is found in fairly shallow waters in the western Pacific. It is characterised by a pattern of "papillate fringes" around the edge of the suckers near the arm tip. [3] Its length is less than 2.5 cm (1 in) and it weighs less than 1 g (0.04 oz).
Mimic octopus showing typical pattern. The mimic octopus was first discovered off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia in 1998 on the bottom of a muddy river mouth. [5] [6] It has since been found to inhabit the Indo-Pacific, ranging from the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman in the west to New Caledonia in the east, and Gulf of Thailand and the Philippines in the north to the Great Barrier Reef in south.
These octopuses also exhibit mate guarding and sneaker mating, in which a male octopus sneaks up on a female in order to impregnate them. [15] A. capricornicus has been known to display many different patterns and colors while mating. A pattern that is displayed strictly during social interactions is horizontal black stripes with a pale background.
The main body of the octopus is normally 8 centimeters (3 in) long and including the arms, approximately 15 centimeters (6 in) long. The octopus displays a typical color pattern with dark ramified lines similar to veins, usually with a yellow siphon. The arms are usually dark in color, with contrasting white suckers. In many color displays, a ...
