The giant Pacific octopus lives in the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean and is the largest species of octopus on Earth. Some individuals weigh over 15 kilograms and have arm spans of up to 4 metres. When stretched out, it can be about the same length as a bottlenose dolphin. These powerful predators feed on many sea creatures, including crabs, lobsters, fish, squid, and even other octopuses. In rare cases, they have even been seen attacking birds such as seagulls near the water's surface. These octopuses move using jet propulsion, drawing water into their bodies before forcefully expelling it through a siphon, though they can also crawl along the seafloor using their arms. They are highly intelligent animals known to solve puzzles, use tools, and even recognize individual people.
