What is a blue-ringed octopus?

Blue-ringed octopuses are invertebrates found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Blue-ringed octopus has blue rings all over its soft body. While resting, the octopus is pale in color. But when it is under threat, the blue rings get brighter.

The blue-ringed octopus hunts during the day. It hides, then catches the prey with its many arms. It kills its prey by releasing poison.

The venom of the blue-ringed octopus can kill a predator in 15 minutes.
