Level 2
Octopus
Wow!
Who are you?
1
I’m an octopus.
Octopuses are mollusks.
Mollusks have soft bodies and no bones.
2
Where do you live?
Octopuses live in the ocean.
We like to crawl along the ocean floor.
3
You have a lot of arms!
Yes, we have eight arms.
Sometimes we lose an arm.
But we can grow a new one.
4
What’s on your arms?
These are suckers.
Our suckers can grab things.
We can even taste with them!
5
What do you eat?
We really like clams and crabs.
Some big octopuses eat sharks!
Seals and big fish often eat us.
6
How do you protect yourself?
We can change color and shape.
That helps us hide.
We can also shoot ink.
7
How do you swim?
We use the water to move backward.
First we suck in water.
8
Then we shoot the water out and—zoom!
Good-bye!
Good-bye, Octopus!
