The use their tentacles, suckers (found beneath their tentacles), and funnels to move underwater. The Giant Pacific Octopus lives underwater in the Pacific Ocean, where they usually thrive in temperatures around 8-12 degrees Celsius (they prefer colder waters). According to National Geographic, the largest and heaviest octopus seen was 30 feet in size and 600 pounds in weight!
According to National Geographic, their average size is 9.75 to 16 feet with a weight between 22 to 110 pounds! They’re almost as big as a 6 foot tall human being! Moreover, this species of octopus can lives between 3 to 5 years. The Giant Pacific Octopus is a type of octopus species that is known for their average large sizes, weight and their longer life spans. Another general fact about the octopus is that they have three hearts! One main heart that pumps blue blood throughout the circulatory system, while the other two pumps blood to the gills.
However, due to the beak’s hard material, this acts as a limiter on how small the space that an octopus can occupy (they can only fit in spaces larger than the beak size). According to Alina Bradford, the Giant Pacific Octopus also has a hard beak underneath their bodies which allows them to eat other animals. This allows them to stretch to reach and grab distant objects underwater, or squeeze into tiny spaces. They are invertebrates, which means they have no bones. It does not store any personal data.Just like the other octopuses, the Giant Pacific Octopus has eight limbs, which are attached directly to their head.
