The actual fascination
Octopuses have three hearts. Two pump blood through the gills; the other circulates it around the body. Their blood contains copper-based haemocyanin, which helps explain its blue colour. These are different biological arrangements, not a ranking of better and worse animals.
Skip the dramatic upgrade
A shareable caption can bolt extra claims onto a real fact. Keep each claim separate: number of hearts, blood colour, behaviour and intelligence are different questions. A source that supports one does not automatically support the others.
Draw the job, not the anatomy
Try a simple labelled sketch with three boxes: gills, circulation and a question mark for what you want to learn next. This is a memory aid, not an anatomical diagram. Add the museum source beside it so future you can find the original explanation.
Give the animal some space
Read, draw or watch responsible educational material. This activity does not involve handling wildlife or buying an animal. Curiosity works perfectly well at a respectful distance.
Your small mission
Retell the three-heart fact without adding an unsupported extra claim.
