Have you ever seen an octopus that big? No? Well, most people haven’t. But, as scary as the thought of seeing an octopus as big as that may be, what’s scarier is that the octopus on the above isn’t even the biggest. Case in point, the Giant Pacific Octopus are known to grow up to lengths of 16 feet and weigh as much as 110 pounds, with the largest ever recorded setting the bar at 30 feet and more than 600 pounds.
While the basking shark does not feed on people, but rather on planktons, it’s still not really comforting knowing that a creature with a mouth that can open as wide as that can be swimming just right under you at any moment.
