Default Giant Pacific Octopus pics posted

I've posted some new pics of a small giant pacific octopus (an
oxymoron - been too deep with the rebreather ;) on my blog -
www.octopus-diver.com or www.octopusdiver.blogger.com

This was about an 8 kilo animal, which was making it's way from a
drying tidepool to the sea's edge - a distance at that stage of the
tide of probably 75-90 meters. The octopus had probably holed up in
the tidepool, but between the tidepool draining and the sun warming
the remaining water, probably figured time to make a run for cooler,
oxygenated water. the octopus made it, and appeared to make good
time. It only stopped to blast a mix of ink and sandy water at the
dog ..

If it survived a few more months could easily attain 25-30 kilos -
many we find at low tide approach this size in the area (an island
group off the northern reaches of the British Columbia coast).

If anyone is interested can provide Google Earth coordinates.
