Biggest of the Bunch
The Giant Pacific Octopus is the largest octopus species in the world! One was even recorded at 30 feet across and 600 pounds—about the size of a small car!
Master of Disguise
With special color-changing cells called chromatophores, this octopus can change its color and even the texture of its skin to blend in with rocks and sand—like a real-life underwater ninja.
Three Hearts
These octopuses have three hearts! Two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body.
Suction Power
A female giant Pacific octopus can have 2,240 suction cups on her arms! Each one is strong enough to lift objects and even taste what it’s touching.
