Option 3 : Octopus

The correct answer is Octopus.

  • Octopuses have three hearts, a systemic heart that circulates blood around the body and two branchial hearts that pump it through each of the two gills.
  • The systemic heart is inactive when the animal is swimming and thus it tires quickly and prefers to crawl.
  • Octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin to transport oxygen.
  • This makes the blood very viscous and it requires considerable pressure to pump it around the body.
  • Octopus's blood pressures can exceed 75 mmHg.
  • All octopuses are venomous, evidence shows that the animal does not make the venom by itself, but are produced by symbiotic bacteria instead.
  • The blue-ringed octopus is the most venomous to humans and they are fatal.
  • These sea or marine creatures lack the skeletal system and are grouped into:
    • Kingdom: Animalia 
    • Phylum: Mollusca
    • Class: Cephalopoda
    • Genus: Octopus
