"Surprise, they're not sea spider"

-

    In my fourth blog, I will talk about one of my favorite animals: octopus. 

    The octopus is a marine animal with eight limbs, three hearts and a brain, however, it has no bones, it is an invertebrate. It is an animal that has many ways of escaping from its predators, given its limbs and its great intelligence. In addition to using his eight "arms", he also uses his ink tank to escape from his adversaries, such as marine predators or human predators.

They feed on smaller animals, such as molluscs and algae. 

Although it is assumed that they are sea spiders, because of their "eight arms", there are actually six arms and two legs, one of which is their reproductive organ that helps them to mate with females of the same species.
 
    Personally, I love octopuses. Their shape, their skills and their varied species, are what catch my eye the most. 
There are octopuses that, to escape their predators, camouflage themselves with their surroundings, clinging to stones, algae or even sand.

    Unlike squid (which are often confused), octopuses do not have a mantle covering their circular head and have no fins, only arms and legs.
    
    So... Surprise, they're not sea spiders, they're just octopuses.

    In conclusion, I love octopuses, they're very beautiful.

    I think they are amazing. When I was a child, I used a lot "encarta" and I watched videos of octopuses all day haha. Really cool animals!

    wow! I am very surprised by the characteristics they have as it is an animal that I knew little about. It reminds me of the "Octopus Paul" of the 2010 World Cup that was famous for predicting soccer results.

     This is my second post, this time I will talk about the best concert I attended during the last months of last year. I only refer to "the last months of the year" because during that time I attended many musical events called "tocatas" which makes the list a bit long.      On November 21, 2019, I attended the Interpol concert at the Caupolican Theatre in Santiago. I went with two friends and we really had a good time.      Interpol is a band from New York, with a musical style called "post-punk revival": sounds similar to those of bands like Joy Division or The Cure years ago, but with a more modern sound.      The concert was something wonderful, the atmosphere generated by the lights, the smoke, the small space and a big "disco" ball on the roof made everybody feel in a concert full of melancholy.       An anecdote that I remember very well, was the way in which an atmosphere of protest was maintaine...

"I've talked about this before"

     Hi! I think I've talked about this before, but it's something I really like to talk about.       What I want to continue studying later, in the future. I would like to study, later on, in the future, Cultural Studies. Specifically, Cultural Anthropology, because it's a subject I like very much in anthropology.      The main reason is to be able to give more relevance to native peoples in Chilean society. Especially, the peoples that are not identified as such. Although cultural studies are very varied, I would like to be able to study them closely, to show that the original peoples (exterminated by the Chilean and Argentine state) in Patagonia have not disappeared. The identity of these peoples is very important to me.       Even though I should study this subject in Chile (obviously because I want to study the people of this territory), the State does not give it the importance it deserves, so it becomes a negle...
