Fact of the Day (BBC): Octopi don’t actually have tentacles. They have eight limbs, but they're technically called arms, not tentacles. When talking about cephalopods (octopi, squids, etc), scientists define tentacles as limbs with suckers at their end-- octopus arms have suckers down most of their length, meaning that they are actually arms, not tentacles.
