Octopuses have three hearts two pump blood to its gills and the third to the rest of the body... when an octopus swims the heart that delivers blood to the rest of the body stops beating! This is why octopuses prefer to crawl rather than swim!
All octopuses are virgins!! Then they die shortly after mating.
Nice. Good fact.
Thank ya! Why I remember such random things is beyond me but ya know for stuff like this it helps!

Did you know that there is a strange state of matter in the eyes of a chicken called disordered hyperuniformity?
This means that it behaves both like a solid and a liquid at the same time.
This adaptation arises because light-detecting substances need to be squeezed into a single layer of tissue. Since these structures are of different sizes but need to be positioned in a relatively organised way, disordered hyperuniformity offers the ideal arrangement for the chicken’s eyes to function.
Knowing this could help inventors develop light detectors that are sensitive to only certain wavelengths of light.
