Name: Giant Pacific Octopus
Information: He is big, the largest of his kind, and can grow to 16 feet and weigh over 100 pounds. Ranging from Alaska to Southern California the giant pacific octopus can live as deep as 1600 feet. They also are able to change the color of their skin to their surrounding to "camouflage" themselves. They do not live more than 3-5 years, and usually die after breeding. However, they are able to lay over 100,000 eggs before their death. Due to its large size only larger fish like halibut, or marine mammals are a threat to the creature. They are intelligent for an invertebrate, and have been reported to unscrew jar lids. For more information on this creature visit: Alaska Pacific Monterey Bay
