Hello, Admirals!

This is GM.

Today, October 8, is World Octopus Day!

World Octopus Day was created to celebrate one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures — the octopus — and to raise awareness of its intelligence, diversity, and ecological importance.

Let’s take a moment to explore the mysterious world of this remarkable marine being!

🐙 What is “World Octopus Day”?

1. History

World Octopus Day was first proposed in 2007 by marine biologists and conservation organizations and is celebrated globally every year on October 8.

This day is not just to admire a cute sea creature — it’s to recognize the octopus as a truly intelligent and emotional marine being.

2. Meaning

Often called “the genius of the sea,” the octopus has abilities that amaze scientists and divers alike.

Each arm contains its own neural network, acting like a mini-brain. It can instantly change its skin color and texture to blend into its surroundings.

With three hearts and blue blood, the octopus is also known to dream — showing signs of REM-like sleep behavior.

3. Trivia

Beyond biology, octopuses have long been symbols of creativity and mystery in human culture.

From the legendary “Kraken” of Greek myth to Japan’s “Tako,” giant octopuses have appeared in tales and folklore across the world.

Today, they stand as icons of intelligence, adaptability, and environmental awareness.
