fast hand and leg movements. The music is played with instruments such as the Western violin, the Arab
rebana and the south East Asian gong.

possession, and often dancers go into a trance-like state. This dance is performed by 9 to 15 dancers

instruments such gongs, tambourines and angklung.
The Sumazau is a traditional dance from Sabah. In this dance, rows of male and female dancers
face each other with outstretched arms. The arm gestures, likened to that of a bird as it floats gracefully,

SET 4
What do three hearts, eight arms and one huge brain add up to? An octopus, a creature that can do amazing
things.
Octopuses are very extremely intelligent. If an octopus is threatened by a predator, such as a shark or
a bird, it can use some incredible skills to get away. Octopuses dont have teeth or sharp claws to defend
themselves. Instead, they use cleverer ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the
sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. The octopus is like a chameleon because it can change the colour of
its skin to match the sand.
Some octopuses like to stay in shallow water where there are rocks and coral. Octopuses are
invertebrates, meaning they dont have backbones, they can squeeze themselves into small spaces between
the rocks to get out of reach of their predators.
Another way an octopus escapes is by shooting ink. An octopus uses a part of its body called a siphon
to shoot ink into the water. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears and the
predator can see again, the octopus has swum away. Its very much like a magician doing a vanishing act.
