Answers:

1)  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an octopus has three hearts, nine brains and blue blood.

An octopus has three hearts, nine brains, and blue blood. Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while a third circulates it to the rest of the body. The nervous system includes a central brain and a large ganglion at the base of each arm which controls movement. Octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin, which is more efficient than hemoglobin for oxygen transport at very low temperatures and low oxygen concentrations. - See more at: http://theterramarproject.org/thedailycatch/an-octopus-has-3-hearts-9-brains-and-blue-blood/#sthash.0lYBs0NH.dpuf
