The Blanket Octopus isn't as cuddly as its name might suggest.
Instead of projecting ink into the face of a predator, the blanket octopus will unfurl its massive webbed tentacles and frighten off its pursuer!
Or if that doesn't work, the blanket octopus also likes to carry around the tentacles of the highly venomous Portuguese Man-of-War which it won't hesitate to throw into your face if you get too close!
