Squidwards on the loose!🐙💨 🎥: @Lawrence Scheele Octopuses breathe through gills, allowing them to extract oxygen from water. On land, these gills collapse like a deflated balloon making it tough for them to breathe! 🗣️Dr. James Wood, a marine biologist, has spoken about octos on land before, saying… “in the salty spray of a coastal area they might be okay to crawl in the air for at least several minutes. But if faced with dry rocks in the hot sun, they might not make it very far! 🪨🥵 🧠 But this costal genius has a trick up its sleeve! 😏 Their skin can absorb a bit of oxygen directly from the air, much like us breathing through a tiny coffee straw if we needed just a sip of air— it’s called cutaneous respiration. But here’s the catch—octopus’s skin must stay moist to pull off this trick. Or else it could be like trying to survive a 🏜️desert trek with just the dew from a single leaf! ☀️😅 Along the shoreline, these adventurers can venture briefly on land, hopping from one tide pool to another, motivated by the pursuit of a delicious meal or the threat of predators. (After all, a hungry fish won’t leave the water to chase them!) While an octopus can survive on land for a few minutes in a daring dash, it’s a high-stakes game with new bosses 🦅. 👽 The land is not their stage (YET)— they’re akin to astronauts exploring an alien world without a spacesuit, relying on their wits and a bit of moisture to keep them going! If ya read this far comment “long time no sea” — we’ve been super busy promoting our new book “Secrets of the Octopus” — luckily it was just announced as a Boston Globe & Seattle Times Bestseller! WoohoO! Thanks for all your support! 🏆📚
