my octopus teacher
Craig Foster is from South Africa.
It was hard to start going into the water. The water temperature was 8 or 9 degrees. He had no wetsuit. 3 dimensional forest. The kelp forest was satisfying. He observed the octopus. The kelp forest was a misty forest. The pyjama sharks are predators to octopus. The octopus can change their colour to their background. they can fit into tight places. this man who filmed this interesting documentary is craig foster. This incredible creature has 2000 suckers.They eat Koura (crayfish). Octopus play with fish. Then she mated with a male and then she had eggs and then when the eggs hatched she died. Then she got eaten by a pyjama shark and fish. Then Craig Foster sees a baby octopus and he remembers her.
