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!

And that is not all.The weather can even change the way we feel!For example,sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D.This vitamin can improve our mood.But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter,so people can feel unusually sad then.
