Pacific Giant Octopus in Olympic Coast

A Pacific giant octopus (Octopus doflleini) ambles over a boulder and away from the remotely operated vehicle. This species is the world's largest.

1. It seriously looks small, lol
2. HAHAHA!
3. ive seen a bigger pcto pust way way bigger
4. Giant Pacific Octopuses are actually not aggressive (unlike their large squid cousins). They are very inquisitive and playful though. I take care of this species in a public aquarium. They rock!
5. This species of octopus is not commercially fished or eaten; they do not taste good. Mostly, if you order octopus, it is the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) that you're eating ;)
6. They do have gills. Their gills are located inside their mantle (the bulbous part of their body most layfolk think is their "head"). They bring water in through their opercular opening, run it over their gills and blow it out of their siphon :)
7. Nice video You think this is scary check out the colossal squid (not Giant squid) they're massive and they have giant swivelling hooks on there tentacles and the worlds largest eye

9. don´t eat that! wow nasty beast, scares me
