In order to confuse their predators, or natural enemies, most kinds, or species, of octopuses are able to spray a cloud of dark ink. The ink keeps the predator from seeing clearly, and the octopuses gets away.

Some types of octopuses poison are deadly, and can kill a full-grown person within a few minutes.
