OctoNation's mission Is to Inspire wonder of the ocean by educating the world about octopuses. Our vision Is to be a global leader In wildlife education, research, and conservation. After reading @SyTheAuthor's "The Soul of an Octopus' In 2015, Sy mentioned that the octopus had been misrepresented throughout history and made out to be a monster-- as a neurodivergent kid, our founder @octowarren could intimately relate to the experience of being unfairly judged and having a future painted by adults that seemed devoid of hope and promise. "Why not reimagine the octopus and take control of the story?" Warren thought. "If @WaltDisneyCo can turn a mouse into a globally beloved figure-- then It's possible to do the same with octopus!" Fast forward to today... 🐙 OctoNation's educational content and resources reached over 500 million people In 2022 online. 🐙 We've consulted numerous news organizations, brands, and creators making sure that octopuses are portrayed accurately. From @Meta, to @GWR, to @NatGeo, to @ExplorersClub, and more! We have a small team-- but a mighty global network of underwater photographers, scientists, researchers, authors, artists, dive masters, & cephalopod enthusiasts that are working together to map wonder to the ocean through the lens of an octopus! More to come! Support our Nonprofit's Team here: OctoNation.com/donate Interested In volunteer opportunities? Email: [email protected] Interested In writing for OctoNation? Email: [email protected]

How many hearts does an octopus have? Most people know the answer is three. But here's what most people DON'T know... One of those hearts actually STOPS every time the octopus swims. Which is why octopuses prefer to crawl instead of swim. So wait... if one heart stops when they swim, what are the other two doing? And why would evolution build a circulatory system like this?! We broke it all down here : octonation.com/how-many-hear…
