The octopus’s body is very interesting. All octopuses have eight arms. Their brain is not just in their head, but also in their arms! This helps them to think about and do more than one thing at once. Octopuses can also fit into small places because they do not have any bones! And did you know that octopuses have three hearts? These hearts work with different parts of the body.
Octopuses can also do many amazing things. Most of them can change their colour and shape to look like plants or other sea animals, and they can also make ink. They keep it inside a very small bag in their body. When they produce ink, the ink makes it hard for other animals to see them. This helps the octopuses to get away fast. What’s more, when an octopus loses an arm, it can grow it back!

范文欣赏
Animals are our good friends. My favourite animal is a lovely cat, Mimi.
Mimi is an important part of my family. She is only three years old. She is quite a beautiful cat. She has white fur, two big eyes, a small nose, a small mouth, and a long tail. She is both cute and friendly. When I am at home, she always likes running around me and playing games with me. She is so clever that she can take good care of her babies. However, sometimes she is playful and she makes my room untidy, but I don’t mind at all.
I like my cat because she can make my daily life full of fun. What’s your favourite animal?
