text: Rather than iron-based blood, their blood is copper-based, which is more efficient at transporting oxygen at low temperatures and makes their blood blue in color.
text: Because their blue blood is copper-based (hemocyanin) and not an efficient oxygen carrier, octopuses favor and move toward cooler oxygen-rich water.
text: The octopus has a copper-based blood versus the more common iron-based (like humans).
text: Because octopuses have hemocyanin as copper-based blood, a small change in pH can reduce oxygen-carrying capacity.
text: Human blood is red because it’s iron-based, but octopuses have developed copper-based blood, which allows them to thrive in the deep parts of the ocean.
