@celesstmar: Replying to @RED Octopuses have a hard, parrot-like beak located at the center of their tentacles. This beak is made of chitin, a tough, horn-like material. Octopus beaks are incredibly strong and sharp. They use these beaks to crush and tear apart the tough shells of their prey! Octopuses also use their beaks defensively, so yes they can bite— If they feel threatened or are confronted by a potential predator, they may use their beak to deliver a painful bite as a means of protection 🐙 📸 Shot on my Gopro Hero 11 @GoPro 📍 Oahu, Hawai’i I am loving this track Tough Love on Diddy’s new album featuring Swae Lee 🎵 #freediving #freedivinggirl #octopus #underwater #hawaii
