Giant Pacific Octopus

[TheDarkblade54]

you are stupid that's not even giant

[itshaydenbaby]

i live in new zealand and i see them all the time diving. there not somthing u wanna get a hold of there extremely inteligent creatures!!!! and unbeleavably strong.

[tommyrocket]

This is a very small octopus. I suppose it is a juvenile, but still - a bit of a misleading headline

[nov3019892008]

They blend in to their environment really well.

[kscrosson]

I went to Sunrise once. One of the best dives around. Saw at least 4 GPOs with fist-size eyeballs. The first one I saw was too close, I tucked into one of the coves and looked up and it was just right there a foot away.

[sunnysideupzZz]

how is that a giant anything. if that's a giant octopus then my toe is a giant cock.

[kaighnyne]

he changes color, thats amazing. if you're following one of those things and it changes color it's a good time to get away, because it's probably mad or soemthing.

[karsynisrad]

0:17 where he changes color.. furious

[AdobeProductions]

Personally, I wouldn't want to follow one of these around. Even if octopus attacks ARE rare.

[survivalofone]

I hand-caught several juvenile Octopus (In Dana point I think?)stranded in tide-pools during the lowest tide of the year a long time ago. Needless to say I wasn't aware at the time how far, and with how great of volume they were capable of shooting ink out of water. . .

[mythconcluder]

squidward!!!!from sponge bob!!!lol

[feathers10123]

lol. i love how its trying to hide from you but you keep "stalking" it. lol

[t3hr4ng4]

lol thats not big ive seen a vid where a REALLY BIG octopus kills and eats a male gigantic great white shark!

[octopusnumber]

I'd like the link to that video LOL!

[twitchnihilax]

Just type "shark vs octopus", the shark's not a great white, it's about 4 feet long but it is a big octopus and it's pretty impressive.

[survivalofone]

ORLY?

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

oh noes!

[mockingbirdxxx]

Wonderful footage of a magnificent creature, i love the way it is watching the diver with equal interest, thanks for sharing.

[michaelbossino]

thats not giant i caught one that size yesterday.. with my hands

[teikalen]

'giant' is part of the species non-scientific name. If it was an inch across it's still be a Giant Pacific Octopus.

[theunknownknows]

Ooooooh,  aliums....

[Aluevius]

It went through some awesome colour changes.

[chriscellar]

i would catch the octopus but that one is a bit old lol....

[soulkong]

yeah dude, that's totally gigantic.....I didn't even know how you managed to film his entire body without the help a satelite

[AustralianHPfan]

personally i'd be scared shitless if i did this things like octopus and bugs and stuff creep me out! the water and sea floor looks all dirty and weird...where was this shot?

[duppyconqueror08]

ahahah

[super6961]

you all are fucking retarded

[guusbok]

alienss

[Zane560]

OMG U HAVE A CAMERA!!!!

[mingyfrog]

ummmm... that is soooooo NOT giant.

[xentypey]

read the description " a young GPO"

[mingyfrog]

still, if the OLD gpo are like HUUUUUUUUGE then shouldn't it be a liitle bigger?

[zucker3]

i guess the word "giant" doesn't mean it is giant to men, but compared to most octopi species on earth.

[Nightxfox]

well, the baby's of the biggest octopus are only a few inches big at the beginning.

btw, isn't it creapy to swim so close to one of those? :P they look yucky ^^

[xentypey]

mhhh man are big too, so should the babys they get dont be much bigger too? :) (bad english...)

[taiyo888]

It looks like its trying to be all casual while it swims away.

[zuorio1982]

it's not giant...

[KingNojo]

Prowl my ass, it's trying to get away from you. Nice vid though.

[WHACHOW]

It changes the color and texture of its skin automatically, it only looks like crap because that is what happens to be on the sea floor.

[kyleishotterthanjack]

that is a disformes octopus

[MadaSkills1]

looks sorta what my cat hacked up ...but alive...and it swims..

[hollandian]

lets send a giant octopus to mars, those marsians will scare the hell out of their selfs lol

[sucklava]

the octopus is my favorite animal in the world!

[ScornedbySara]

Are these the kinds with the toxic ink or is that the Atlantic Octopus?

[phytohydra]

[phytohydra]

[dpcmiller]

The species is a "Giant Pacific Octopus" and yes it is actually not that big compared to many in this area.

[CallsignX]

[PrinceOfDarkness111]

[degaussingthegodhead]

They can get rather large though. At least in relation to some of the other 200 species of Octopus.
