Giant Pacific Octopus

Discover Utah

Size:Can grow over 16 feet in length and upwards of 100 lbs.
Habitat:Intertidal zone and coastal waters.
Diet:Crabs and a variety of shellfish such as scallops and abalone, small fish and smaller octopuses.

Octopuses have a few tricky defenses against being eaten. They can change the color and texture of their skin in seconds in order to blend in and escape from predators or ambush prey. Color change is also used as a form of communication with other octopuses. Octopuses only live about 5 years “in the wild.”
