@yeolstrat These octopuses are not giants. They look too small to be considered giants.

@azar78345able Now that sounds like my sort of octopus.

@yeolstrat Giant octopuses are much more bigger than these octopuses. These octopuses are not giants. The largest pacific octopuses can grow up to 30 feet and 10 meters in arm spread and can weigh 600 pounds. Besides a giant pacific octopus is a bigger than all human beings.

@Satanperkele Did you not see the octopus named Caroline that died? Not exactly a "giant" in my book.

[yeolstrat]

They should call his species the medium sized octopus. Its misleading.
