yuu love train hello i just woke up from my slumber, may 21st, goodmorning, good afternoon, good evening, goodnight to you!! i hope you had a good day and everything is going well!!

octopus fact of the day : did you know that octopuses have blue blood? in order to survive in the deep ocean, octopuses evolved a copper rather than iron-based blood called hemocyanin, which turns its blood blue. this copper base is more efficient at transporting oxygen than hemoglobin when water temperature is very low and not much oxygen is around. but this system also causes them to be extremely sensitive to changes in acidity. if the surrounding water’s pH dips too low, octopuses cant circulate enough oxygen. accordingly, researchers worry about what will happen to the animals as a result of climate change-induced ocean acidification.

GOOD MORNING. i feel like i have an idea who you are. thank you so much for this. This is an interesting fact?!? Also i thought octopus has black blood because when i watch those sashimi videos, i don’t see anything but octopus meat and that black thingy. shark next please 🙏
