The number of species that breed in Canada are shown in parentheses.

Octopuses have accidentally documented themselves stealing our video cameras to cover up evidence of their crimes. Accipiters are small to medium-sized hawks of swift flight that occur around the world. They also have the senses of smell and sight (although they might be colourblind), and they are very sensitive to touch.Octopuses are highly evolved and intelligent, especially when compared to their other mollusk relatives. To avoid contamination and the risk of predators the female will not leave the lair while guarding her eggs.
Thanks to their highly developed brains, Giant Pacific Octopuses in laboratories and in captivity have learned to open jars, mimic other octopuses, interact with humans and solve mazes. Marine biologists continue to find evidence that octopuses are intelligent and even capable of displaying emotions. As they grow older, they will progressively become paler again. The giant pacific octopus, (.These creatures are primarily nocturnal predators that feed on crabs, prawns and a variety of molluscs and small fish.

The Cooper’s Hawk is intermediate in size; the male Cooper’s is easily confused with the female Sharp-shinned Hawk, and the female Cooper’s Hawk is almost as large as the male Northern Goshawk. The female of each species grows larger than the male.

To further confuse predators, it can expel a black ink-like substance through its siphon.Octopuses have a great sense of taste that is up to 1,000 times more sensitive than that of humans. Many experts believe that it is a secondary sexual character, similar to deer antlers. A high quantity of tubules and nerve endings in the pulp –the soft tissue inside teeth – of the tusk have at least one scientist thinking that it could be a highly sensitive sensory organ, able to detect subtle changes in temperature, salinity or pressure.

The giant pacific octopus, (Enteroctopus dofleini), is the only species in British Columbia large enough and common enough to currently attract directed fisheries interest. Specimens have weighed as much as 272 kg and measured 9.6 m in radius (although they can stretch quite a bit), but most reach an average weight of only 60 kg. Celebrate the 10th annual World Octopus Day with this lovely behind-the-scenes National Aquarium video of Aquarist Katie Webster and an intelligent Giant Pacific Octopus.How intelligent, you ask? Three-year-old Pandora, a giant Pacific octopus at the Seattle Aquarium, weighs about 45 pounds.

We now know much more about its intelligence and adaptability.Luckily, the Giant Pacific Octopus is not a Species at Risk in Canada.

Ideally, the Giant Pacific Octopus’s habitat will have lots of hiding spots, like those provided by rocky areas and kelp forests. They have been around since before the dinosaurs and have survived many mass extinctions to shape the oceans we know today.

Cod are often mottled, or have a lot of darker blotches or spots.The Atlantic Cod may live as long as 25 years.For a variety of reasons, including its rarity, scientists know very little about this rather large animal. They range in size from the small male Sharp-shinned Hawk, which is smaller than a gull, to the large female Northern Goshawk, which at 55 to 66 cm is larger than a crow. Males can grow up to 6.2 m -the average size being 4.7 m- and weigh about 1,600 kg.
