answer 
to each of the questions from 33 to 38
 Some people say that the best defense is a good offense; an octopus, however, would disagree. 
In addition to being one of the strangest and most beautiful creatures in nature, the octopus has some 
of the most inventive and effective defense mechanisms imaginable. While other animals have teeth, 
horns, or claws to help defend them from predators, the octopus concentrates its energy on hiding from 
and confusing its attackers. When it wants to get away, the octopus has an impressive arsenal of tricks 
at its disposal. 
 The most well-known of the octopus’s defense mechanisms is its ability to squirt clouds of ink 
into the water. Some octopi use this cloud of ink as camouflage; after squirting the ink, the octopus 
retreats into the ink cloud where the predator cannot see it. Other octopi use the ink cloud as a decoy. 
If a large, intelligent predator such as a shark knows that octopi use ink clouds for camouflage, it might 
simply attack the ink cloud blindly, hoping to make contact with the octopus inside. However, some 
sneaky octopi will release the ink cloud in one direction and scurry away in another direction, leaving 
the predator with nothing but a mouthful of ink. In addition to confusing predators’ sense of sight, 
these ink clouds also confuse their sense of smell. The ink is composed primarily of melanin, which 
can shut down a predator’s sense of smell. If an octopus cannot be seen or smelled, it has a much 
higher chance of escaping an attack. 
 Another defense mechanism possessed by many octopi is the ability to change color, much like a 
chameleon. Most animals get their skin color from chemicals in the skin called chromatophores 
(melanin is one of these chromatophores). Chromatophores might contain yellow, orange, red, brown, 
or black pigments, and the amount of each pigment present in the skin determines an animal’s color. 
While most animals are always the same color, some species of octopi can control the amount of each 
color pigment in their skin cells, allowing them to change color. Some poisonous octopi, when 
provoked, will change their skin to a bright, eye-catching color to warn predators that they are 
dangerous and ready to strike. Other octopi use this ability to change their skin to the color and texture 
of seaweed or coral, allowing them to blend in with their environment. Finally, some octopi—such as 
the mimic octopus—use this color changing ability to masquerade as another type of animal. The body 
of an octopus is highly flexible, and some species can combine this flexibility with their color-
changing skills to make themselves resemble more dangerous animals such as sea snakes or eels. 
 Yet another defense mechanism possessed by some octopi is the ability to perform an autotomy, 
or self-amputation, of one of their limbs and regrow it later. When a predator catches a tentacle the 
octopus can amputate this tentacle, thereby unfettering itself, and regrow the tentacle later. However, 
some octopi when threatened by a predator will shed a tentacle before being attacked in the hope that 
the predator will go after the detached tentacle rather than the octopus itself. While the octopus may 
not be the most vicious creature in the ocean, its numerous and clever defense mechanisms help it to 
survive in the dangerous undersea world. 
 3 By the mid 1960's, most Alaskans didn’t even know the Iditarod Trail existed, or that dog teams 
had played a crucial role in Alaska’s early settlements. Dorothy G. Page, a self-made historian, 
recognized how few people knew about the former use of sled dogs as working animals and about the 
Iditarod Trail’s role in Alaska’s colorful history. To raise awareness about this aspect of Alaskan 
history, she came up with the idea to have a dog sled race over the Iditarod Trail. She presented her 
idea to an enthusiastic musher, as dog sled drivers are known, named Joe Redington, Sr. Soon the 
Pages and the Redingtons were working together to promote the idea of the Iditarod race. 
 Many people worked to make the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race a reality in 1967. The Aurora 
Dog Mushers Club, along with men from the Adult Camp in Sutton, helped clear years of overgrowth 
from the first nine miles of the Iditarod Trail. To raise interest in the race, a $25,000 purse was offered, 
with Joe Redington donating one acre of his land to help raise the funds. The short race, approximately 
27miles long, was put on a second time in 1969. 
 After these first two successful races, the goal was to lengthen the race a little further to the ghost 
town of Iditarod by 1973. However in 1972, the U.S. Army reopened the trail as a winter exercise, and 
so in 1973, the decision was made to take the race all the way to the city of Nome—over 1,000 miles. 
There were many who believed it could not be done and that it was crazy to send a bunch of mushers 
out into the vast, uninhabited Alaskan wilderness. But the race went! 22 mushers finished that year, 
and to date over 400 people have completed it.
