• An octopus lives near the ocean’s floor. It has a rounded body, bulging eyes, and eight long arms. Two rows of suckers line each arm. Ask: Can you see the suckers in the photo?

• The octopus does not have a shell to protect its body. It is soft and very flexible (bendable). It crawls into small places between rocks and hides to protect itself. Say: Show what it means to be flexible. Why would it be helpful for an octopus to be able to bend easily?
