Octopuses have the ability to change color withis a couple seconds. They do that often to get invisible for their predators, when they are scared. But a change in color can also be a change in the octopus' mood. White is the color for fear, red for anger, and brown is the neutral color, which is most often seen. Often when an octopus feels threatened, it tries to escape, or uses its ink sac, to expel a cloud of dark ink to confuse the predator (shark or lion for example). The ink forms a dark cloud in the water. That gives the Octopus a few more seconds to escape.
Octopuses are known for being very intelligent animals. Sometimes when they feel threatened, they construct barricades made of large stones on the ocean floor. They would hide behind it so that the predators couldn't attack them.
