Blue Ring Octopus Research Paper

The Blue Ringed Octopus is one of the most beautiful and intelligent creatures. It is

Genus: Hapalochlaena and Species Hapalochlaena lunulata. In studying this animal, they have an

amazing design, habitat, and diverse anatomy. Considering the Blue Ring Octopus, it is a very

diverse and interesting animal. Although people have little knowledge of the Blue Ringed

Octopus, it is one of the most interesting animals in the world. Of the many things that relate to

its ecosystem, some main points would be: the food chain concerning the Blue Ringed Octopus,

the climate where its habitat is located, the worldwide population and certain habitat populations

of this species, and what impact the human population has on this species. In the case of the

specific animal some points would be: the anatomy of the species, the nutrition for what it needs

to survive, and the amazing intelligence of the animal. From learning about this animal, even

though there is rapid destruction of habitats the Blue Ringed Octopus should use its intelligence

and design to survive.

The first objective to evaluate is the climate and habitat the Blue Ringed Octopus also called

the BRO. Its habitat ranges from the coral reefs of Australia, to the Indo-Pacific Region. There

are diving tours for them from far as south of Australia, to Japan and even as far west as Sri

Lanka. MarineBio.org says, "Hapalochlaena lunulata can be found in shallow reefs and tide

pools from northern Australia to Japan". It spends most of the day hiding in crevices, but is

active at night. This makes diving in daytime a real challenge to find one. Besides hiding in

crevices, it also buries itself in the ocean floor. Their small size and not having a skeleton l...

toxins leave the body. "The infected limb should be elevated and direct pressure should be

applied to prevent the circulation of the venom" (Fernandez, 2010). Fortunately, they have a very

docile nature so attacks are rare. As shown, the BRO is a very dangerous creature if provoked.

Through learning about the Blue Ringed Octopus, it is clear that it is a very diverse and

amazing animal. God's Intelligent Design and creativity is evidently present in this organism.

After learning about the Blue Ring Octopus, it is a very diverse and interesting animal; although

people have little knowledge of the Blue Ringed Octopus, it is one of the most amazing animals

in the world. After consideration, all animals brought to learning in our classroom, the Blue Ring

Octopus is the most unique and interesting animal of all.
