Answer and Explanation:

The octopus is a complex aquatic animal, belonging to a class -of cephalopods. Its body plan has all the organs centralized within a large body cavity. These organisms have eight long limbs, which extend away from the body cavity; on average they may grow up to 14 feet long.

Octopuses are invertebrates noted for their intelligence; they are capable of adapting to evade predators. They can camouflage by altering their appearance to hide within their environment, produce ink to obscure their environment and allow for their escape. One species produces toxins when attacked -the Australian Blue-Ringed Octopus.

Answer:

Because of the difference in surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

Surface are to volume ratio is the area of an object that is exposed to the external environment (surface area), compared to the amount within an object (volume).

Therefore an elephant has a lower surface area to volume ratio than a mouse.

The smaller an object is the greater its surface area to volume ratio.

Small animals have much more surface area per mass than large animals. With so much surface area, they lose heat very quickly. So, a mouse, with a lot of surface area per mass, must spend a lot more energy to stay warm than a large animal.
