The giant Pacific octopus has three hearts and blue blood.

Two hearts pump blood to the gills.
One heart pumps blood to the rest of the body.
Their blood is blue because it uses a copper-based molecule called hemocyanin to carry oxygen instead of the iron-based hemoglobin found in humans.

Fun twist: When an octopus swims, the heart that supplies the rest of its body temporarily stops beating—which is one reason octopuses prefer crawling along the seafloor rather than swimming long distances.
