Secret Sea Creature Guide: The Octopus Family
Welcome, ocean explorer! If you are reading this, you have found the scroll of secret information in the bottle along with the underwater camera! Within this guide, there are many fascinating creatures to discover, but this one is a surprise you will not expect. Hidden deep beneath the waves, the Octopus Family Living Room remains a mystery that few humans have ever seen. Long ago, a removal van was tossed from a ship in a storm and it sank to the sandy ocean floor. Nearby octopuses were somehow able to drag every armchair, sofa and lamp from the wreckage and arrange them into the cosiest sitting room!

To attract their prey, the whole household works together to create a calm and inviting space. The biggest octopus reads a story from a sunken book while the three tiny youngsters perch on the footstool to listen. Rather cleverly, the octopus family organise for two patient anglerfish to dangle their glowing lights. With the lamps lit for storytelling, shoals of fish and smaller creatures arrive and huddle across the sofa. All seems cosy and calm… until the rush of forty tentacles snaffle fish, plankton and crabs into eager beaks.

These remarkable eight-armed sea creatures have an unusual appearance. This octopus family slouch comfortably into their surroundings. Sprawled across padded cushions, eight gangly tentacles writhe around with minds of their own. Three little hatchlings wait with eager eyes that gleam like polished shells. The family’s shifting colours are a swirl of pearly blue with spots of seaweed green.

The most astonishing thing of all is their talent for camouflage.
