Gaint Octopus - Monterey Bay Aquarium

It is a 40 feet giant.
On its eight legs and thousands of suckers, an octopus creeps, crawls and glides over the ocean floor.

An octopus has variable speeds. To escape danger, the octopus sucks in water and expels it through a siphon, whooshing away at top speed.

Suckers on its legs give an octopus tremendous gripping power. It takes a forty-pound pull to release the grip of a three-pound octopus.

Octopuses can also express their emotions by changing the color, pattern or texture of their skin to match their mood.

Octopuses are clever bags of tricks not to be missed. They have survived millions of years by using their awesome array of abilities.
