[squigy97]

2 seconds later: the octopus comes out of the water, grabs the camera and eats it.

CTHULU FOR PERSIDENT

Actually, that is an East Pacific Red Octopus. They are the most common octopus to wash up on shore in tide pools. Sweet find, though, and I am very glad you guys did not try to touch him. As far as all the comments about it being a Giant Pacific, that was a common mistake that scientists made in 1953, in terms of the Taxonomy of the octopus. These guys will only have a 10cm mantle and tentacles up to 40cm. He will not grow bigger than 400grams.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[briantravelman]

Ya! Jeff Corwin showed one in some tide pools near Los Angeles, but wasn't so big! This one is huge!

Giant Pacific Octopus!

[sega31098]

@dmanroks7

Giant Pacific Octopus are just as big as humans. This is nowhere near 1/10 of a human's size.

[girlzrule519]

coolbeans!!awsome

[bapyou]

Wow. That's a pretty good sized animal. Where is this tide pool? Where did you film this?

[ashlez79]

Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast is where it was filmed. I'm not sure exactly where in Lincoln City it was.

[bapyou]

Thank you. That was a pretty good size octopus. I've never seen one that color either.

[HidingFromEveryone]

that is big for our local tide pools. i've seen very little ones, but none that big. was it out hunting? they eat star fish and sea anemones don't they????

[ashlez79]

I don't think it was hunting, it just got trapped in a tide pool when the tide went out. It's moving trying to hide I think.

[whitelotus808]

grab it!

[Shavarnarak]

I once found a huge cuttlefish in well... not a tidepool, but like a little pool that was still connected to sea, but surrounded by rocks. It looked as though it had been in a scrap with a big fish, since it didn't have many tentacles left. Just messy looking stumps When I came closer it jetted away. Unfortunately at the time handy digital camera's where not around. And I did not have a regular one on me either.

[Berryboogers]

Awesome tide pool!

I wanna find something too!

[Anime111Animal]

The Moray eel wants to go back home to the ocean. Didn't you see "Finding Nemo"? Let him go, dude.

[TidePools]

It's the best place in the world.
